Перевод: Ура! Меня наконец-то приняли в школьную команду по баскетболу! Завтра моя первая игра. Ты любишь спорт? Почему? Что ты думаешь о последних Олимпийских играх в Сочи? Как ты любишь проводить...(наверно имеется в виду свободное время - free/spare time).

you can write (ты можешь написать) - Hey! Good for you!(Поздравляю/Молодец) I love sports. My favorite sport is... soccer(футбол)/basketball/volleyball/badminton(бадминтон)/figure skating(фигурное катание)/swimming(плавание)/horseback riding(верховая езда) etc. (и т.д.). Дальше - почему. Могу сказать про бадминтон. I love badminton because I have a good eye-hand coordination (координация между глазом и рукой) and it's fun to hit/to chase that shuttlecock (и это весело - стараться попасть по валанчику). It is a fun way to move around and exercise. You can have fun with your friends and make new friends. You can make good friends through sports, as you try to win a game as a team. Вот как-то так. Про Олимпиаду в Сочи много сказать не могу т.к. смотрю обычто только фигурное катание. Удачи!

My Language Is My Pride

I am one of 260 million Russian speakers. Russian is my native tongue. I have been speaking it all my life but I still have a lot to discover. The more I learn Russian, the more I admire it.

It is interesting that we cannot choose our first language, just like we cannot choose parents, or a place of birth. As we gradually master our mother tongue with the help of our relatives, friends, and teachers, we seldom think about it as a treasure, but in fact it is the most beautiful treasure in our lives because it defines who we are and it shapes our mentality. Russian is the language we use to think, dream and feel emotions, it is our means of communication with people around us. Unfortunately, not all people understand how important it is to preserve this treasure and pass it on to our descendants. Some schoolchildren do not like their Russian lessons and say that they do not need to know all the rules because modern gadgets and computer programs automatically correct errors. But the problem is that there are a lot of Russians unable to speak proper Russian. Instead they speak a mixture of vulgarisms and interjections with inclusion of slang words and unacceptable speech phrases.

I love my native language. I am proud of Russian because it is not just the language of my parents and their parents but the language of hundreds of outstanding writers and scientists .
