Dear Liz,
How are you doing? Today I'd like to tell you about what we do with the family in our free time. I hope you'll find it interesting. My family is my mum, my dad, my elder brother and me. Every day we do something interesting. For example, on Monday our family went to the park for a walk. There I made a wreath and gave it to my brother. He looked very funny with my wreath on his head. The next day my dad and I went to choose a gift for mum for her birthday. In the end we bought a nice silver chain for her. Yesterday we went to the water Park. I finally learned to swim normally. Today we did some spring cleaning in the house. And tomorrow we plan to go to the cinema all together.
What do you do with your family? Where you like to go?
Write to me soon.
Best wishes,
Sonia
I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year<span>.</span>
Что сделали дети? Как долго они делали это?
My name is Asya and I’m thirteen years old. I’d like to tell you about the presents that I have once got and about the present which I wish to receive for my fourteenth birthday.
First of all, I should mention that I like presents a lot and I’m sure I’m not the only one. I like getting presents for my birthday, for some special holidays and occasions. My dad buys me some small presents even when I simply do better progress at school. However, my birthday is the most important occasion for valuable presents. Last year, my parents bought a new cell phone for me and it was just the brand I wanted to have.
This year I have a new wish. I’d like them to buy me a new bike, as my old one has worn out brake pads. The bike which I want isn’t cheap at all, but it’s worth it. Although it costs as much as two new cell phones, I know that my dad would buy it for me. He is also an amateur cyclist and he knows that a good bike can last through years of hard use. I have already found one bike which would be suitable for me. It’s of my favourite green colour with yellow handles. If I had enough money, I would buy it straight away. My dad doesn’t know yet which present I want to get for my birthday, but my mum does. She knows even the store where my dream bike is on sale.
Apart from that, I’d like to get a pair of nice sports shoes, as I often play with my friends outside. And the last but not the least, there is a new schoolbag on my list. One of the presents I’d like to get for my birthday is a new convenient bag. The one I have now is worn out and unattractive. I expect to get this present from my uncle and aunt.
