Hi Chris,
Have you had a good summer? I'm on an adventure holiday with my sisters! Today, they've done a water challenge. First, they dived off a rock into a big river. Later, they 1) kayaked (здесь и в следующем предложении перечисляются действия в поэтому используется past simple) over falls in one-person boats. Then they 2) sailed around a lake in a big boat. They ended the day by 3) swimming (после предлога нужен герундий) in a river, under three bridges. Tomorrow, they're going to 4) surf (после going to используется инфинитив) on the waves in the sea.
As for me, my adventure had (тут по смыслу должно быть had!) an epic start when we 5) jumped out of a small aeroplane, and then 6) parachuted down to the ground (здесь и далее по тексту используем past simple для передачи последовательности действий, произошедших в
See you next week at school!

Dear Jane,
Thank you very much for your letter. We are now also cold, but this is familiar to us. Sometimes it snows heavily, but very rarely. The temperature isn't that high. So we can walk, ski and skate in the park. I also love to play snowballs with friends. It would be great if you were with us. I want you to come to my country and see our Russian winter with your own eyes. It is better to dress warmer, for example, a fur coat, a hat, felt boots and some kind of warm jacket with socks under the bottom. It is nice to spend winter holidays when the weather is not so frosty. What about winter in England? How can this be described? Write me please. I'll be happy.
Best wishes, Masha
Перевод: Дорогая Джейн,
Большое за ваше письмо. У нас сейчас тоже холода, но это для нас привычно. Иногда идет сильный снег, но очень редко. Температура не такая уж и высокая. Так что мы можем гулять, кататься на лыжах и коньках в парке. Еще я люблю играть в снежки с друзьями. Было бы здорово, если бы вы были с нами. Я хочу, чтобы вы приехали в мою страну и своими глазами увидели нашу русскую зиму. Лучше одеваться потеплее, например шубу, шапку, валенки и какую-нибудь тёплую кофту с носками под низ. Приятно проводить зимние каникулы, когда погода не такая морозная. А как насчет зимы в Англии? Как это можно описать? Напишите мне Я буду рад.
С наилучшими пожеланиями, Маша
