FIRE

Aries – Овен (March 21 – April 20)

Sagittarius – Стрелец (November 22 – December 21)

Leo – Лев (July 22 – August 22)

Fire signs usually make optimistic students. However, you are often impatient and want to make quick progress. It’s difficult for you to concentrate on the one thing. You have lots of energy but sometimes you have your heads in the clouds and don’t know or care what is going on around you. To make good progress you should try to concentrate on what you are doing today and not on what you want to do tomorrow.

EARTH

Capricorn – Козерог (December 22 – January 20)

Virgo – Дева (August 23 – September 22)

Taurus – Телец (April 21 – May 20)

Earth signs usually make serious and hard-working students. Exams are very important to you because you want to have a good job one day. You always check your homework. You like everything in its place and demand clear explanations of what is going on. You don’t like change. Other students like you because you are practical and helpful and see everything so clearly.

WATER

Cancer – Рак (June 22 – July 22)

Pisces – Рыбы (February 19 – March 20)

Scorpio – Скорпион (October 22 – November 21)

You live in a world of your own and often dream, even in class. You often lose things and forget the time. You seem to learn without effort and usually do well, if your teachers encourage (поддерживать, поощрять) you. You are very resourceful (изобретательный, находчивый) and artistic which makes your work very interesting though not always very accurate! Try to combine your imagination with the practical side of studying. And remember to do your homework.

AIR

Gemini – Близнецы (May 21 – June 21)

Libra – Весы (September 23 – October 21)

Aquarius – Водолей (January 21 – February 18)

You are a popular student and a good talker. You easily make friends and are happy to be a part of a team. You are a flatterer (льстец, подхалим), which means you are probably popular with your teacher! But sometimes you are lazy. You have all the qualities to make a success of your studies, get on and do it! By the way, air signs are good at learning foreign languages.

Благодарственные письма (Thank you letters) относятся к категории личной деловой переписки и имеют своей целью выражение благодарности адресату.
