You have received a letter from your English-speaking pen-friend David who writes:

...Thank you for the book you sent me about the Lyceum years of Pushkin and his friends. I'm glad it was in English. My elder sister is reading it now. Isn't it amazing that all the 10-year old boys could read, write and speak French before they got to the Lyceum?! Was home education typical for all kids under 10 in Russia in the 19th century? Would you like to study in a boarding school like Pushkin's Lyceum? Next week I am planning to apply to a University.
