The letter to my pen-friend.
Hello. I want to explain you my situation. In 4 months I will take my English exam. The test has 5 parts: listening, grammar, reading, writing and speaking. It is a cruel (I would use something different, like hard, comprehensive, or difficult here instead of 'cruel') test. And I want to practice writing part of the test and I would appreciate any corrections.
My friend Zoya -
...I'm so pleased to hear from you on my birthday! It's incredible, but my dream has come true! My parents have given me a kitten! I'm so happy! You know this is my first pet. Have you ever had a pet? What problems do you think I may have? Any advice would be very useful (useful is not wrong, but personally I would say helpful, or appreciated). Write as soon as possible.

Dear Alice,
It was great to hear from you! I'm sorry I haven't written earlier but I was really busy with school. I am very glad that you have a pet, and I'll say ('tell you' or 'share with you' instead of 'say') everything I know about looking after your new friend.
Yes, I did. I had a lot of pets in my life. At present time I have a cat and a rat. It's funny, but they like each other! About feeding, I would not recommend you to feed your cat a special food which we normally buy in a supermarket. It is unhealthy for all kinds of pets, and soon after this your pet won't eat anything except that special food. You may feed your darling such foods as boiled meat, soup, boiled eggs and many other products. I would not advise you to give milk to a grown cat. I had been giving the milk to my cat for two months and it spoiled my cat's stomach. I think the best advice which I can say to you is just love your little friend and look after it.
How is your cat now? What name do your cat has? How old is it?
Well, I'd better go now. Mum want me to help her.
Take care and keep in touch!
Best wishes,
Zoya
