Dear Julia,
I was glad to get your letter. Sorry I haven’t been in touch for so long. I am so happy for you! International piano competition is a big chance, you're right, so don't miss it. Yes, of course you schould try. I heard you playing, it's wonderful, you can win, and don't argue with that. Career as a pianist, that sounds interesting, you will do what you like to do. Yes, I like listening to classical music, especially Mozart. If you can't imagine your life without it, so go! Don't doubt, try it. Well, I’d better go now as I have to do my homework. Drop me a letter when you can, I would like to know about results.
Best wishes,
