Dear Zlata, Thanks for your letter. I am glad you liked your holiday trip. I also travelled during my winter holidays.My trip was fantastic. My mum and I went to the third capital of our country the city of Kazan. It's the city of contrasts, the crossroads of two worlds-the West and the East. Really it's a place where the West peacefully exists side by side with the East. We went to Kazan by train. The city is on the left bank of the Volga, eight hundred kilometres from Moscow. One night on the train and we found ourselves in the capital of Tatarstan. The guide told us that more than 2 million people visited Kazan every year. More than one million people live in Kazan. (It ranks six in Russia) The weather was fine. All the time it was only about seven degrees below zero. We saw a lot of sightseengs but most of all I was impressed by the Kremlin, where there is a marvelous muslim mosque, and nearby the 16th-century cathedral with the Spasskaya Tower; and the Palace of the President of Tatarstan and much more. Unfortunately, I have to finish now. I'll tell you more about this fairy-tale city in my next letter. Keep in touch. Best wishes, Arina
We all need exercise. This is true for young people (in their teens) as well as for adults. Even if you don't plan make sports your main occupation. This is my opinion and I feel like it is true.
As long as I can remember myself I was always keen on tennis. I love this sport with its old noble traditions, though myself never dreamed of becoming anything more than an amateur.
I watch closely all tennis competitions and championships. There are a lot of them, but my favourite championship is Wimbledon because old tennis traditions remains there as they are. Some of the most well-known Wimbledon champions are: John McEnroe, Boris Becker, Steffi Graf, Monica Seles. My dream is to get a chance to watch at least one of them playing.
And meantime I play tennis with my friends. It is also a great opportunity to socialize with people who have similar interest (as any sport I suppose).
Перевод
Нам всем нужны тренировки. Это так же верно для молодежи, как и для старших. Даже если вы не собираетесь выбирать спорт в качестве профессии. Это мое мнение, и оно мне кажется правильным.
Сколько я себя помню, мне всегда ужасно нравился теннис. Я люблю этот спорт с его старыми благородными традициями, хотя я никогда не мечтала быть чем-то больше любителя.
Я внимательно слежу за соревнованиями и чемпионатами по теннису. Их существует очень много, но мой любимый — Уимблдон, потому что в нем старые теннисные традиции сохраняются такими, какими были. Некоторые из самых известных победителей Уимблдона: Джон Маккенрой, Борис Беккер, Штеффи Граф, Моника Селеш. Моя мечта — увидеть хотя бы одного из них.
My Dream classroom. I would like the classroom of my dream to be large and light.The classroom of my dream would have computers on each desk.The classroom would have good comfortable new furniture. In winter the classroom would be warm.There would be plenty of plants in the classroom.There would be a smart board on the wall. The children and teachers would be kind and polite. They would be intelligent and would respect each other. This is the class of my dreams. Класс моей мечты.Я хотел бы, чтобы класс моей мечты был большим и светлым. В классе моей мечты на каждом столе были бы компьютеры. В классе была бы хорошая и удобная новая мебель. Зимой в классе было бы тепло. В классе было бы много растений. На стене была бы 'умная доска'. Дети и учителя были бы добрые и вежливые. Они были бы умными и уважали друг друга. Это класс моей мечты.
