Aigul: David, what holidays do you celebrate in autumn?
David: On the fifth of November, we celebrate Guy Fawkes Night. Or
sometimes we call it Bonfire Night.
Aigul: How do you celebrate it?
David: Before the holiday, people prepare the Guys. The Guy is
a model of a person that people make out of old clothes,
paper or straw. The Guys are usually very big, sometimes
about nine meters high. Children can make their Guys too.
They aren't so big, but they are really nice and funny. They
take their homemade guys out on the street and ask for
"a penny for the Guy" for fireworks. Some people wear special
masks on this day. In main towns or cities people organize
I want to tell you about my school, my class and my favorite subjects. First of all, I'm going to tell you about my class. My class is very fun.** Sometimes we go camping together; there we play and have fun. Soon we will go to Chertanovo, I think it's going to be an interesting trip. And now I'm going to tell you about my favorite subjects. I like litrature and biology the most. I never get bored on litrature or biology lessons. And I don't like geometry and algebra because I'm not good at mathematics.*** I just really don't like math lessons. But most of all I hate georaphy, because it's always boring in the georaphy class and we often have tests. But in general, we have a good school. We also hold concerts and sometimes play games, like for example, running and answering the questions. I really do like my school. And what's your favorite subjects? Do you like your school? Tell me more about it, I will wait for your reply :)
See you!

* Я начала письмо с Dear xyz потому, что если ты пишешь письмо в офф. стиле, то письмо следует начинать таким образом. Но если ты пишешь своему другу, скажем, электронное письмо, то проще будет начать письмо с простого Hi, Mandy! ну или Hey, Mandy!
** They are (very) fun - это неформальное выражение, но на экзамене такое вроде прощают.
*** Заметь, я немного изменила текст, и получается вот такой перевод: "И мне не нравится геометрия и алгебра, потому что я не очень разбираюсь в математике". Как тебе?
У меня есть привычка заканчивать письма с фразами типа "See you!" или "Until the next time", хотя всегда можно воспользоваться простым "Bye!".
