Dear Ivan,

How are you I was wondering about your last message which I got only yesterday. I read that you got a new kitten, is it true If so, can you write me about it in the next message

As you asked me to describe and explain about the life in Russia, I would write it in this reply. Firstly, I would say, that it is not so hard as seen in TV news and as Americans usually describe it. It is quite a big country, I agree with you. This s why some regions have their own culture and interests in the communication with another country. For example, in the Far East, people are conserved about the relations with Asian countries such as Japan, Korea, and China, whereas the West Part of Russia most of the population are interested in lifestyles of German and other European countries. This is why the Far East are studying Asian languages in some schools while European part gives German or Spain language in schools. As you know, we have one governor who controls the whole country. This results in the same laws in each region. 
Also, I would say, that we have a unique nature which is easily absorbed by photos. I would send you them later. As we are the outgoing nation we like to go for trips for weekends in forests or near rivers. This is important for our culture, and thus most of the Russian do it. 
We have a big history which is always remembered. The starting off I can say that most of the families here have one or two men who have been in the WWII and thus we are trying to keep these memories which they gave us at they young age. 
Finally, I would like to invite you to come here, so you can see it by your eyes. You can stay in my family  for a few weeks or a month. Also, you can experience how we are studying in school as an international student. It will be great to hear again from you shortly. 

See you,  (твое имя) :)
