Dear Jane,
Thank you very much for your letter. We are now also cold, but this is familiar to us. Sometimes it snows heavily, but very rarely. The temperature isn't that high. So we can walk, ski and skate in the park. I also love to play snowballs with friends. It would be great if you were with us. I want you to come to my country and see our Russian winter with your own eyes. It is better to dress warmer, for example, a fur coat, a hat, felt boots and some kind of warm jacket with socks under the bottom. It is nice to spend winter holidays when the weather is not so frosty. What about winter in England? How can this be described? Write me please. I'll be happy.
Best wishes, Masha
Перевод: Дорогая Джейн,
Большое за ваше письмо. У нас сейчас тоже холода, но это для нас привычно. Иногда идет сильный снег, но очень редко. Температура не такая уж и высокая. Так что мы можем гулять, кататься на лыжах и коньках в парке. Еще я люблю играть в снежки с друзьями. Было бы здорово, если бы вы были с нами. Я хочу, чтобы вы приехали в мою страну и своими глазами увидели нашу русскую зиму. Лучше одеваться потеплее, например шубу, шапку, валенки и какую-нибудь тёплую кофту с носками под низ. Приятно проводить зимние каникулы, когда погода не такая морозная. А как насчет зимы в Англии? Как это можно описать? Напишите мне Я буду рад.
С наилучшими пожеланиями, Маша
