<span>Millions of people all over the world are fond of sports and games. Sport helps people to stay in good shape, keeps them fit and makes them more organized and better disciplined in their daily activities. We have always paid great attention to sport in our schools, colleges and universities. You can hardly find a school without a gym or a sports ground. Every city and town has a few stadiums or swimming pools where local competitions are usually held. It's been a tradition in this country to divide sport into professional and amateur. There are different sporting societies and clubs in Russia. Many of them take part in different international tournaments and are known all over the world. A great number of world records have been set by Russian sportsmen: weightlifters, tennis players, swimmers, figure skaters, high jumpers. Our sportsmen also participate in the Olympic Games and always win a lot of gold, silver and bronze medals. There are also a lot of amateur clubs and keep-fit centres in Russia where people go in for aerobics, yoga, body-building, swimming, skating, jogging. Thousands of people go to the stadiums to support their favorite team and many many thousand more prefer to watch the games on TV. But watching sports events and going in for sports are two different things. My favorite kind of sport is tennis. I've been playing it since I was eleven years old, and the more I play it the more I like it. There is a good tennis court not far from my house and whenever I have a chance I go with a friend of mine.
Миллионы людей во всем мире любят спортивные состязания и игры. Спорт помогает людям оставаться в хорошем состоянии, держит их, соответствуют, и делает их более организованными и лучшими дисциплинируемый в их ежедневных действиях. Мы всегда обращали большое внимание на спорт в наших школах, колледжах и университетах. Вы можете едва найти школу без гимнастики или спортплощадки. Каждый город и город имеют несколько стадионов или плавательных бассейнов, где местные соревнования обычно проводятся. Это была традиция в этой стране, чтобы разделить спорт на профессионала и любителя. Есть различные спортивные общества и клубы в России. Многие из них принимают участие на различных международных турнирах и известны во всем мире. Большое число мировых отчетов было установлено российскими спортсменами: тяжелоатлеты, теннисные игроки, пловцы, фигуристы, высоко бурят ручным буром. Наши спортсмены также участвуют в Олимпийских Играх и всегда выигрывают много золота, серебряных и бронзовых медалей. Есть также много любительских клубов и центров аэробики в России, где люди занимаются аэробикой, йогой, боди-билдингом, плаванием, катанием на коньках, бегом трусцой. Тысячи людей идут к стадионам, чтобы поддержать их любимую команду, и многие еще много тысяч предпочитают наблюдать игры по телевидению. Но наблюдение спортивных событий и занимаясь спортивными состязаниями - две различных вещи. Мой любимый вид спорта - теннис. Я играл это, так как мне было одиннадцать лет, и больше я играю это, больше я люблю это. Есть хороший теннисный корт недалеко от моего дома и всякий раз, когда я имею шанс, я иду с моим другом.</span>
Dear *имядруга*. I was very glad to receive your letter of 12th December and I thank you for that. I also thank you for the answer to my question, it was very interesting to know about traditions in the US.
In your letter you asked me to tell you about our traditions, and I'd glad to tell you about it.
In Russia etiquette is very important thing. If any person won't follow the etiquette rules in society this person will be bad automatically and people will look askance at him/her. We follow etiquette rules everywhere, in conversation, in eating, in each public place like restaurant, swimming pool, concert. At school, university, work we also have special rules. Russian etiquette rules can be completely different to foreign countries, so foreigners must be very carefull in it.
You also asked me how Russian meet other people. It depends on situation really. If teenager or young adults meet somebody we just say, "Hey, what's your name?". Adults meet others more politely. They often say, " Hello, nice to meet you, can I ask your name?". They also can add compliment to this words, like, "You look amazing" or "Your dress suit you so much". If we already know the person that we greet, we behave more relaxed of course. If it's our relatives or friends we say, " Hey, what's up" etc. But if we don't know each other that much, or this person older than you, we said "Hello" or "Hi" or we can just nod.
If you visit Russian family you must bring something like present. It can be box of sweets, bouquet of flowers or bottle of any alcohol, it also depends on people that you visit. We never visit someone with empty-hands. At dinner you must be very polite with everybody, it doesn't matter if it child or adult. And you must thank this family for 'kind welcome' when you leave.
Dear *имядруга* I hope I could tell you everything you wanted. I will wait for your next letter. Can you please tell me about education in the US I'd like to know about it.
Love, *твоеимя*
