It was an unusually hot summer’s day for
the Highlands of Scotland. Eileen, Debbie and I
lazed happily on the lawn sunbathing and
fantasised about far-away lands we would like
to visit. Then I had an idea ― to go for a picnic
at Balblair beach.
We all met at my house in order to pack the
picnic basket. We had enough lovely food to
feed an army! We cycled happily towards the
beach. Roy, my retriever, did not want to miss
out on the fun so he followed us.
After about half an hour we arrived feeling
really hungry and thirsty. So we lay the rug
down on the sand and started tucking in to the
delicious food we had prepared. But Roy was
nowhere near. I spotted him digging a deep
hole somewhere in the dunes. We thought nothing of it until Roy came
back with a bottle covered in seaweed. He lay
it down and started barking. My friends told
me to take a closer look. I picked it up and saw
that there was something inside ― a message.
As none of us could understand what the
message said, we headed home. I showed it to
my mum and she told us it was German. She
also managed to tell us what it said: “If you
find this, make a wish. Put me back into the
sea when the sky is blue. Only then will your
wish come true!”
The next day was another lovely sunny day
and so we returned to the same part of the
beach. We all made wishes and I threw the
bottle back into the sea. I felt proud that my
mum had translated the message. I also felt
excited at the thought of my wish coming
true.

First of all I want to tell you that my best friend's name is Irina and she is 15. She is the best person I have ever met.
A few words about her appearance. Her height is nearly 149 cm. But she'd like to be a bit taller. Well, she is not slim but she is not fat either.
Irina has a round face as everyone has, a bit long nose and big cheerful grey eyes. Her skin is a bit pale but she likes this fact, she doesn't like ruddy faces. She has no freckles as my friend Nina has. Her forehead is open. I think Irina has a charming smile.
Her hair isn't very short but it's not long either. It is straight and black. Iuina has rich hair.
I think that she looks like her father.
Irina is very active and creative, cheerful and curious. But the best thing is that she is reliable. We spend much time together. We go for a walk, we play tennis, watch TV, do things which we like.
I love my friend.
Прежде всего, я хочу сказать вам, что мою подруг зовут Ирина и ей 15. Она самый лучший чловек, которого я когда-либо встречала.
Несколько слов об ее внешности. Её рост около 149 см. Но она хотела бы быть немного выше. Ну, она не худенькая, но и не толстая.
У Ирины круглое лицо, как и у всех, немного длинный нос и большие радостные серые глаза. Ее кожа немного бледная, но ей это нравится, она не любит румяные лица. У нее нет веснушек как у моей подруги Нины. Ee лоб открытый. Я думаю, у Ирины очаровательная улыбка.
Ее волосы не очень короткие, но это не длинные. Они прямые и черные. У нее густые волосы.
Я думаю, что она похожа на своего отца.
Ирина очень активная и творческая, жизнерадостная и любознательная. Но самое главное - она надежная. Мы проводим много времени вместе. Мы ходим гулять, играем в теннис, смотрим телевизор, делаем вещи, которые нам нравятся.
Я люблю мою подругу.
