Dear Jackie,
Thanks for your last letter!
On the topic of holidays in Russia, I can tell you that Christmas is not as popular in Russia as it is in Britain. Instead, we celebrate New Year's Eve more fervently here.
Is it true that you celebrate Christmas on December 25th? Here we celebrate it on the January 7th. It is traditionally celebrated by religious believers, whereas I heard that in Britain people of all faiths and even atheists celebrate Christmas too. Am I right?
My favourite holiday is New Year's Eve, as we put up a fir tree and have a big meal on this day and meet up with friends or relatives.
Other holidays we celebrate include Women's Day, Men's Day and Victory Day. We also celebrate the start of Spring for one whole week and we call this time 'Maslenitsa'. What do you call the day when you celebrate the beginning of lent by making pancakes?
Write back soon,
Sasha

Paralympic Games and my attitude to them
Now I want to describe my attitude to the Paralympic Games. The Paralympics is such a complex of different kinds of simple sports which was chosen specially for disabled people. From the words of the participators we can understand that they want to be recognized for their achievements, just like any other athletes. In these even the most disabled people can demonstrate their abilities in the environment where their disabilities don’t count.
In the past people didn’t pay so much attention to this sport event (I mean the Paralympics), but now there appears some kind of new interest, especially pleasing for Bob Steward – the director of the IPC (International Paralympic Committee), he invites new participators. With money which IPC collect with their own efforts they can sponsor more than 100 athletes from 35 countries of the world.
More and more sports have been added since the Paralympics began. Many of them were added with the help and ideas of participators. So far there are events for the blind, amputees and people with cerebral palsy. Games specially for mentally disabled people were added in Atlanta.
From my point of view Paralympic Games is a very important event for all of us and people all over the world, because every person must prove himself. And of course disabled people deserve a chance to show their skills in abilities in corresponding atmosphere.
