Dear Ben,
Thanks for your recent letter. It was great to hear from you again.
You asked me about pets. Well, I think some people refuse to have pets because it's a great responsibility. Besides, they have to spend time and money on them. Personally, I don't approve of keeping such unusual pets as lizards or different insects. I believe they should live in their natual habitat.
As for the most common pets in Russia, I should say that these are cats, dogs, budgies and hamsters. It's easy to look after them.
That's all for now. Write back soon.
Love, Mary
