First of all I meant to write to you about Czechkoslovakia where I come from &#8217;cause I thought it would be interesting for you, but I gave up this idea when I read your idiotic commentry on a letter from a Yugoslavian boy <\/p>\n<p>Why are you Englishmen such puffed up people? (I blame the cooking) I hope you won&#8217;t kill me or declare war on Chechkoslovakia for this sentence. You should appreciate the anxiety of people who are trying to learn English rather than critisise them. Do you think that you&#8217;ll ever be able to speak Czech or Yugoslavian without making a mistake? <\/p>\n<p>I have another question: Why do you think that girls don&#8217;t skate? Maybye they&#8217;re not as cool agressive and ugly as some boys are? I guess all I&#8217;m trying to say is I&#8217;d be thankfull for a reply , but don&#8217;t say something wrong about my poor English! <\/p>\n<p>With love, <\/p>\n<p><strong>Zora, <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Prague <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Mockr&aacute;t dekuji za Tvuj dupis.
