Dear Alex,
Thank you for your letter. I am always glad to hear from you, you know it.  Today I'll try to answer your questions about New York. You asked me about our programme there, well, we are arriving to NY in a week. There we are staying with American families and are having some classes before lunch time during our stay in NY and we are doing various sights after lunch. On Monday we are visiting Rockefeller Centre, on Tuesday we are walking in Central Park, on Wednesday we are having a sea trip to the Statue of Liberty, the next day, that is on Thursday we are doing the Guggenheim Museum, on Friday we are visiting a concert hall in Broadway (by the way, there are about 30 theatres and concert halls in this street). The last thing we are going to see there is the Impire State Building.The Programme is great, I hope to take a lot of pics there. That's all for now. 
Keep in touch.
Best wishes,
Dima 

Dear Mike,

Thanks for your letter. It was great to hear from you. You ask me about my plans for this summer. Well, I'm going on a trip to the USA in July. I'm going to stay with my distant relatives there. They live in New York. I'd like to see as many landmarks there as possible. First of all, I would like to stroll along  Broadway. Then I'm going to take photos of the famous Statue of Liberty. Later on, I would like to visit The Museum of Modern Art, The Metropolitan Museum and The Metropoliten Opera. I would also like to have a rest in Central Park and to go on an excursion to The Empire State Building.  And at last, I would like to see the Times Square and, of course, much more. I hope I'll have a fantastic time in New York.

Now I'm closing. Keep in touch.

My regards to your parents!

Best wishes,

Denis

Дорогой Майк,

за твоё письмо. Было здорово узнать о твоих успехах. Ты спрашиваешь меня о моих планах на это лето. Ну, я собираюсь в путешествие в США в июле. Я собираюсь остановиться там у своих дальних родственников. Они живут в Нью-Йорке. Хотелось бы увидеть как можно больше достопримечательностей там. Прежде всего, я хотел бы прогуляться по Бродвею. Затем я собираюсь сфотографировать знаменитую Статую Свободы. Позже, я хотел бы посетить Музей Современного Искусства, музей Метрополитен и знаменитый оперный театр Метрополитен.  Я также хотел бы отдохнуть в Центральном парке и съездить на экскурсию в Эмпайр-стейт-билдинг.  И, наконец, хотелось бы увидеть Таймс-сквер и, конечно, многое другое. Надеюсь, я прекрасно проведу время в Нью-Йорке.

На этом я заканчиваю. Поддерживай связь.

Мои наилучшие пожелания родителям!

Наилучшие пожелания тебе,

Денис
