Dear Kate,

Thank you for your last letter. I was very glad to get it.

In your letter, you wanted to know if we have charitable activities at our school, and, in fact, we do. Our school participates in a number of charitable activities such as cleaning the city streets, helping the orphanage with donations of cash or toys for games. We organize charity concerts to raise money and just spread the word about some issues we can solve as a friendly community to make our city better and cleaner.  

At the last concert, we raised quite a lot of money in cash and also from an online donation site.  We wanted to put this money for good use and spend it on something useful and interesting. We donated all the money we had for the orphanages in the city. They were very grateful, and we even ended up on television for our good deeds.

That's all for now. Write back soon.

Best wishes,

Olga

Дорогая Кейт,

за ваше последнее письмо. Я был очень рад получить его.

В своем письме вы хотели узнать, есть ли у нас благотворительная деятельность в нашей школе, и, на самом деле, у нас есть. Наша школа участвует в ряде благотворительных мероприятий, таких как уборка городских улиц детскому дому с пожертвованиями денежных средств или игрушек для игр. Мы организуем благотворительные концерты, чтобы собрать деньги и просто рассказать о некоторых вопросах, которые мы можем решить как дружественное сообщество, чтобы сделать наш город лучше и чище.  

На последнем концерте мы собрали довольно много денег наличными, а также с сайта онлайн-пожертвований.  Мы хотели использовать эти деньги с пользой и потратить их на что-то полезное и интересное. Мы пожертвовали все деньги, которые у нас были для детских домов в городе. Они были очень благодарны, и мы даже попали на телевидение за наши добрые дела.

Вот и все.  Пиши.

С наилучшими пожеланиями,

Ольга
