I was very glad to hear from you. I haven't written for ages because of my school activities. Now I want to tell you about my holidays. I was very happy! The weather was fine so my friends and I went for a walk every day. It was fun! Then I spent a few days in the country where my grandfather and grandmother live. It was great. I drank milk and ate a lot of tasty food which my granny prepared for me. I have many friends in this village because I go there every holidays. We played football and tennis every day! We went to the forest to gather mushrooms. When the weather was rainy and windy I played computer games and watched TV. But holidays were over and I returned to the city again. I liked my holidays very much, but I love to go to school too. My school life is wonderful. There are lots of concerts, performances and sport competitions in our school. My classmates and I often take part in different school events. I have a lot of friends in my class. Our teachers are kind and intelligent and my classmates are smart and friendly. Tell me how you spent your holidays.
That's all for today. I have to go to school club now.
Best regards to your family.
Write soon.
Yours,
Natasha
Дорогая Liza,
Я очень рада получить от тебя весточку. Я не писала тебе целую вечность из-за своей занятости в школе.
Я хочу рассказать тебе о своих каникулах. Я была очень счастлива! Погода была хорошая, так что мои друзья и я ходили гулять каждый день. Это было весело! Затем я провела несколько дней в деревне, где живут мои дедушка и бабушка . Это было здорово. Я пила молоко и ела много вкусной пищи, которую моя бабушка готовила для меня. У меня много друзей в этой деревне, потому что я езжу туда каждые каникулы. Мы даже играли в футбол и теннис! Мы ходили в лес и собирали грибы. Когда погода была дождливой и ветреной, я играла в компьютерные игры и смотрела телевизор. Но каникулы закончились, и я вернулась в город снова. Мне очень понравились мои каникулы, но я очень люблю ходить в школу тоже. Моя школьная жизнь прекрасна. У нас проводится много концертов, спектаклей, спортивных соревнований в школе. Мои одноклассники и я часто принимаем участие в различных школьных мероприятиях. У меня много друзей в моем классе. Наши учителя добрые и умные и мои одноклассники умные и доброжелательные. Расскажи, как ты провела каникулы.
Это все на сегодня. Мне пора идти на занятие кружка.
Передавай привет своим родителям.
Твоя Natasha.
