A). Write your friend a letter about your study and rest at the Academy.

a)I like to study at this Institute. However some things could be changed. I'd like our teachers and students treat each other with more respect. I also think that some subjects such as History, Philosophy and Mathematics should be only studied by students who are interested in them. These subjects have nothing to do with real life. I think they are useless and boring. I prefer the subjects that prepare us for the life outside the Institute.

b) I think teachers should talk to their students as if they are individuals. Teachers should understand our problems and listen to the ideas we have. No boring subjects like History. Students shouldn't worry about tests and marks: if the don't know much- it's their personal business.

Speak about what you think about studying at the Academy (likes and dislikes). Give your own proposals.

Your friend: You sound convincing. I'll think it over and ask my parents' advice.
