In your last letter you asked me to tell you about my pets. OK, I can talk for hours on this topic. I have a dog; his name is La boule. That’s a French word which means a ball. He is a pug and he is very funny. I also have a hamster. His name is Masha. Not a usual name for a hamster, you say, but he is very curious and smart enough. I would also like to have a cat, but perhaps not now.
I’m fine, no changes since the last time. I’m passing my exams next week. After that, I’m looking forward to going abroad. I like traveling a lot. I’ve visited just a few European countries but I fell in love with the Old world. My dream is to go to Paris. This is the city of love, croissants and haut-couture. I think every person should see it and not necessarily die after it!
You told me that you had been to many countries. Tell me about your greatest trip! Have you been to Paris, did you like it? What are you going to do this summer? Where would you like to go?
I’m so happy that your sister married! Wish her and her husband a very good luck! Hope the wedding was as gorgeous as the bride was!
Could you send me some photos?
Sorry, I have to go, my parents are leaving on holidays, I need to see them off.
8 строчек Мартовский ветер) March wind is a jolly fellow; (Мартовский ветер весельчак;) He likes to joke and play. (Он любит шутить и играть.) He turns umbrellas inside out (Он выворачивает зонтики навыворот) And blows men's hats away. (И сдувает мужские шляпы прочь.) He calls the pussy willows (Он призывает вербные сережки) And whispers in each ear, (И шепчет в каждое ухо,) «Wake up you lazy little seeds; («Просыпайтесь, ленивые маленькие семена;) Don't you know that spring is here?» (Разве вы не знаете что весна пришла?»)
