Dear Kate,
Thank you for your letter. It was nice to hear from you again.
Your friend sure has an unusual pet! A hedgehog lives near our house, but I never thought of keeping it as a pet. In Russia, most people have either a dog or a cat. I don’t think it is a good idea to have a wild animal as a pet. They are difficult to feed them and take care of. As for me, I would like to have a cat. They are quiet, and you don’t need to walk them every day.
I’m sorry, but I have to do my homework now. Please write again soon.
Best wishes,
Lena
