Dear Anna
In your last letter you asked me to tell you about my pets. OK, I can talk for hours on this topic. I have a dog; his name is La boule. That’s a French word which means a ball. He is a pug and he is very funny. I also have a hamster. His name is Masha. Not a usual name for a hamster, you say, but he is very curious and smart enough. I would also like to have a cat, but perhaps not now.
I’m fine, no changes since the last time. I’m passing my exams next week. After that, I’m looking forward to going abroad. I like traveling a lot. I’ve visited just a few European countries but I fell in love with the Old world. My dream is to go to Paris. This is the city of love, croissants and haut-couture. I think every person should see it and not necessarily die after it!
You told me that you had been to many countries. Tell me about your greatest trip! Have you been to Paris, did you like it? What are you going to do this summer? Where would you like to go?
I’m so happy that your sister married! Wish her and her husband a very good luck! Hope the wedding was as gorgeous as the bride was!
Could you send me some photos?
Sorry, I have to go, my parents are leaving on holidays, I need to see them off.
Waiting for your letter,
Yours truly,
Masha

Susan!
We are in Paris with my parents. We arrived here three days ago. It is raining here, but we stayed in a luxurious hotel, where I could swim in an open-air pool. The food was outstanding. I tasted the frog’s legs. It was amazing! Now we are going to visit the Louvre. I hope to see you soon.
Your Becky
ПЕРЕВОД: Сьюзан! Мы с родителями в Париже. Мы прибыли сюда три дня назад. Идет дождь, но мы остановились в шикарном отеле, где я могла плавать в открытом бассейне. Еда была выше всяких похвал. Я пробовала лягушачьи лапки. Это было потрясающе! Сейчас мы собираемся посетить Лувр. Надеюсь скоро увидеться. Твоя Бекки
