6 Sadovaya St Dmitrov 18 March 2011
Dear Alice, Thanks for your letter. It was great to hear from you. In your letter you asked me about my summer holidays. Well, I had a very good time! In June I stayed at home because I had exams at school. Luckily the weather was nice and warm and at the weekend my parents and I went to our country house. We went sunbathing and swimming in the lake near there. In July I went to a summer camp. It was fantastic. I made a lot of new friends. Every day we went swimming in the river, and we played different games. There was a disco every night. Once we went hiking in the forest for two days. We cooked our meals on the fire and at night we sat around the fire, sang songs and told stories. Are you happy with your new house? Is it bigger than your old house? Have you got a room of your own? Please tell me more about it.
Write soon. Love, Tanya

1. Дорогой друг!
Ты, вероятно, удивишься, получив письмо от человека, которого никогда не встречал, поэтому я прежде всего тебе представлюсь.
Я студент второго курса педагогического университета, специализируюсь в английском языке и литературе, а также слушаю лекции по истории, философии, лингвистике и т. п. После лекций я играю в волейбол и теннис. Я член университетской волейбольной команды. Вечерами я читаю, гуляю или хожу в кино, чтобы развлечься.
Я бы очень хотел узнать о твоей учебе и интересах. Вкладываю в письмо несколько сделанных мной фотографий.
Искренне твой…
2. Дорогой Джек!
Возможно, ты хочешь переписываться с парнем твоего возраста из России.
Мне семнадцать лет, и я учусь в средней школе. Хочу поступить в университет и изучать английский язык. Мой папа — учитель математики, а мама — врач. Кроме учебы, я играю в волейбол и занимаюсь фотографией.
Когда будешь мне писать, не забудь рассказать о своих увлечениях. Я думаю, они отличаются от моих, но мне все равно будет интересно о них узнать.
Насколько я понял, ты изучаешь русский язык. Было бы неплохо, чтобы ты писал мне по-русски, а я тебе по-английски. Это станет для нас хорошей практикой, и если у меня будут ошибки, надеюсь, ты мне их исправишь.
С большим нетерпением жду от тебя вестей. Пожалуйста, напиши поскорей.
Искренне твой…
