Haven’t seen you in ages! How are you?
Recently I have gone to the cinema with friends. It was a really weird experience because we had to wear masks all the time and sadly no popcorn allowed. However, the movie was so good, I was dead impressed.
I have read your last email and firstly congratulations! I think it is a great opportunity for you. However, I understand your concern about leaving everything behind. This is a rough situation. If I were you I would go with a flow and get the chance. You can maintain relationships through social media and also you can visit them from time to time. Also, it is an occasion to meet new friends! Lastly, you can change your mind anytime. If you will miss friends you can come back home.
I hope it helped!
Give my love to your family.
Take care

Long time no see. How are things? I hope you’re doing well.
I’ve been a little busy because of my studies – it’s not that easy like in high school, there’s a lot of work and sometimes I feel overwhelmed by that. I don’t have much time for other activities, so I feel poorly. On the other hand, I feel fulfilled – now I can achieve my goals and my dream work.
I’m glad that you’ve got an offer of a place at university! That’s wonderful! You shouldn’t worry about losing touch with your friends – I’m sure that wouldn’t happen. These days we have a lot of ways for staying in touch with your close friends and family – letters, social media, sending messages by communicators and much more. I believe that your friends would like to make your dreams come true, for example going to university in US. It’s nothing to worry, but because of worrying, you can lose your chance for achieving your goals. Do it in consonance with yourself. I bet you would be a great student!
Take care,
XYZ

Haven't seen you in ages. How are things? My studies are going great, thanks for asking.
You mentioned that you just get an opportunity to start studies at university in the US, glad to hear it, what a great news! I'm so happy for you. I know that you are worried about losing touch with your friends. I'm sure everything is gonna be alright, in these times there are so many ways to communicate with others, even if you will have to move abroad. You can stay connected with them by writing emails, texting them on special apps, or even- when you all will have free time- set up a meeting somewhere. Your relationships are strong enough to persevere for that long time when you will follow your dreams. This is a big occasion, so I think you should try because it is just worth it.
Hope you will feel better and catch that opportunity!
Take care,
XYZ

Long time no see. How are things? My studies going extremely slowly. Exam after exam it is daily routine. A break from the responsibilities for example are outing for the city with my friends from university. Recently I helped my flatmate with delivering a discourse for the most important event, which it had happened a few days ago in university. That was very tiring work but after we were very happy!
Your opportunity is the brilliant news! Congratulations! I am dead impressed. However I was sorry to hear that you are standing probably before the most important decision in your life and you don't know what do next. For all my power I will try to help you make the best decision. The degree in engineering from a top college will be your key for better future, in my opinion. Don't be worried about your contact with friends and family. Now we have a billions apps which we can using all the time and calling for everybody. It really comfortable form to stay in touch with your close people. I hope I have helped you at least a little in your decision.
Anyway, I guess I'd better go and get on with some revision for my exams.
Can't wait to see you! Give my love to your family.
Cheers,
XYZ

Long time no see, how are you? I have been pretty busy lately due to school and an overbearing amount of studies in the past couple of weeks. Because of that oftentimes, I can't hang out with friends or spend my time like I would want to, which annoys me and makes me mad, but I'm really happy now that I know that you've gotten an opportunity of studying in the US. In my opinion, you shouldn't be anxious about losing contact with your friends, since you can communicate via the internet, you can make video calls with them and visit them from time to time, on holidays for example. And also if they're real friends, they will wait for you to come back and will not leave your side. At the end of the day, you're making your dreams come true and they should cheer you up, not disappoint you by not staying in touch with you. I'm also sure that you will meet some new people at the university so you probably won't be lonely and if you won't like it you can always change your mind and come back to where you live. I hope that my advice was helpful!
Take care,
XYZ

Long time no see.How are you?
I’m pretty good at school and learning right now but I have a lot work to do there: tests, homework, set books etc., so as you can see I’m not bored, maybe a little because of routine but of course not because of a lack of things to do.Recently I haven’t been doing many exciting things, just everyday life.
To while away the hours and spend some time out of school issues I usually play video games, read a book, watch films and hang out with friends.
Ok, so now I’ll comment your situation.What can I say,wow I’m really happy because of your success and I’m very proud of you, many people can only dream about it.
If I were you I would go to this university in the US.I understand you might feel a bit unsure and torn but you should take the opportunity despite the fact of missing real contact with old friends and family but hey in today’s world we fortunately have online communicators and probably you will make some new friends during studies there so you won’t be alone(I hope so).
Final decision depends on you and this is only my advise.Please let me know when you figure it out.
Wish you all the best
Your friend

Im really glad that you write to me, i haven't see you ages oh my god.
Apart from my school work, nothing interesting happens at my place. Continuous learning for tests, doing homework and projects. Considering the situation in the world, my contact with my friends is limited. I also have lessons online which, contrary to appearances, are not so simple. I also go to the gym, ride my bike and play basketball.
I am immensely proud of you, not everyone is going to college. You deserved it with your hard work and I think it is worth sacrificing contact with friends for a better future, if they are real ones for sure they will not forget you. Who knows, maybe you will meet wonderful people in the new city.
Write an email when you will be in new city and be sure to write how it went.
I keep my fingers crossed and see you

I am fine. You're right, it's a pity we haven't seen each other for a long time. My studies are going good, i have many of work and i have some problems with one subject, but overall it's fine. I met many interesing people in my studies. I have been doing many exciting things recently. I have been: flying a helicopter, running a marathon, jumping on bangee and jumping on parachute. It was a great fun for me.
I think that offer from university is great and you should to use this offer. You education is the most important thing. I know that its gonna be hard, but you can stay in touch with your friends by internet, telephone or letters. But its only my opinion, if you fell that it could be too hard for you, you should not use this offer.
Take care,
XYZ

Haven’t seen you in ages. How are things?
I hope you are doing well. Many thanks for your e-mail.
In last time I was been pretty busy because I have a barrage of study and a lot of exams. Fortunately, I passed everything and now I have more time for myself and my friends. Furthermore, I decide to go with Alex to the kennel to become a volunteer. From now on I will be walking with dogs every week on Saturday. They are so adorable!
About your concern, I reckon this might be the best decision of your life. Besides as the saying goes “no risk no fun”. Don’t worry about your friends because the real one of them will be with you no matter what actually happened in your life. There are social media, facetime and many other ways to communicate with others.
I hope this resolved your doubts. That would be everything for now as for me.
Yours,
XYZ
