The tipi (teepee) - the Sioux Indians' house
A tipi was made of tall wooden poles (Opëdha, CTONOH) covered with tough
buffalo hides (wkypbl). The buffalo hides were very tough; they lasted
through winter storms and hot summer days. A small family's tipi had only
one room. But for big families women could make a bigger tipi. At night
you could look up and see the stars through the two flaps (OTBEPCA) at
the top of the tipi. When it rained or snowed, the flaps were closed. In a
tipi it was warm in the winter and cool in the summer. When the Sioux
moved from place to place, they took their tipis along. When it was time
to move, women took their tipis apart. And when the tribe set up the camp
again, women put the tipis up. Women working together could put up a
tipi in a few minutes.
All the village travelled together. First the women took down all the tipis.
Then the men put everything together - tipis, poles, tipi covers, clothes,
tools, and dried food. Clothes were made of animal skins - mostly
deerskins. Horses pulled the load (rpy3). The chiefs rode in the front, with
the hunters. The women and the girls rode behind, carrying the house-
hold goods. Babies rode in cradles.
For every day, women and girls wore long dresses and leggings. Their
special clothes were decorated with elk teeth, bear claws, feathers, and
fur. Sioux men wore deerskin shirts and leggings. In warm weather and
when they were hunting or fighting, they wore only a strip of leather and
a pair of moccasins. In the winter, a buffalo robe kept the people warm.
Women made all the clothing for their families.

Hi Bill,
Thank you for your latest email. I am writing to tell you about my last trip to an English language camp.
I have just returned from there. I was in London! The trip was a birthday present from my parents, and I went to a camp with my close friend.
So, I spent my last weekend there leisurely strolling around London, admiring the architecture, taking tons of photos and eating insanely delicious food, of course.
Unfortunately, on my actual birthday, the weather was rainy off and on throughout the entire day. I visited the famous Big Ben for the first time!
We had a party in a small pub. A pity, all my friends couldn't attend it. It was the worst at that time. At one point, somebody threw a cake in my face. Really, it was so funny. I don't think I'll ever forget this birthday. It was the best of my life!
What did you do at your weekend? Did you go to a camp? How did you spend your last birthday? Write, I'll wait for your email.
Your best friend,

Объяснение:
Привет, Пол,
за ваше последнее письмо. Пишу, чтобы рассказать о моей последней поездке в лагерь английского языка.
Я только что вернулся оттуда. Я был в Лондоне! Поездка была подарком на день рождения от родителей, и я отправился в лагерь с близким другом.
Итак, последние выходные я провел там, неспешно прогуливаясь по Лондону, любуясь архитектурой, делая множество фотографий и, конечно же, ел безумно вкусную еду.
К сожалению, в мой настоящий день рождения, погода была дождливой в течение всего дня. Я впервые побывала на знаменитом Биг-Бен!
У нас была вечеринка в маленьком пабе. Жалко, но все мои друзья не смогли приехать. На тот момент это было худшее. В какой-то момент кто-то бросил мне в лицо торт. Действительно, это было так забавно. Не думаю, что когда-нибудь забуду этот день рождения. Это было лучшее в моей жизни!
Что ты делал на выходных? Ты ездил в лагерь? Как ты провел свой последний день рождения? Пиши, буду ждать вашего емейла.
Твой лучший друг,
