<span>Dear Paul,</span>
<span>Thanks for your letter. It is so nice to get news about you and your family.</span>
<span>As for me, I won our school tennis championship. You know I've been playing tennis for nine years. My parents bought me a terrific present - a new American tennis racket.</span>
<span>I cannot say that my classmates fond of sports Their likes may be divided into two groups: the boys like playing football and basketball at leisure time; however, tie girls are not keen on sport games. Some of them prefer aerobics; the others don't go in for sports at all. It's strange, isn't it? </span>
<span>I congratulate Jane on entering such a prestigious university.</span>
<span>What department has she chosen? What is she going to study? Where will she live? </span>
<span>Well, I must go now my mother is waiting for me.</span>
<span>Best wishes,</span>
<span>Kate</span>

<span><span>Уважаемый Павел,</span></span>
<span><span><span>
Спасибо за твое письмо. Это так приятно получать новости о тебе и твоей семье.
Что касается меня, я выиграла наш школьный теннисный чемпионат. Ты знаешь, я играю в теннис на протяжении девяти лет. Мои родители купили мне потрясающий подарок - новую американскую теннисную ракетку.
Я не могу сказать, что мои одноклассники любят спорт, их можно разделить на две группы: мальчики любят </span></span><span><span>в свободное время </span></span><span><span>играть в футбол и баскетбол, однако, наши девочки не заинтересованы в спортивных играх. Некоторые из них предпочитают аэробику, другие не занимаются спортом вообще. Это странно, не правда ли?
Я поздравляю Джейн с поступлением в такой престижный университет. Какой факультет она выбрала? Что она будет изучать? Где она будет жить?
Ну, я должна идти, меня ждет мама.
С наилучшими пожеланиями,
Кейт</span></span></span>
