Dear Oleg,
I was very glad to hear from you again. Sorry, I haven't written for ages because of my school activities.
In your letter you ask me to tell you about news at school. With a pleasure. We miss you very much and looking forward to your returning. As you know my friends and I like many kinds of sports but best of all we like football. It's the game of my dream. I play for my school football club "Shkolnik". We are good players you know. We won last competition. It was great!
Tell me a few words about you and your new school and friend. Have you joined any sportclub? Do you like your new teachers?
That's for me today. I have to go to the shop for some food.
Best regards to your family.
Write soon.
Andrey
Дорогой Олег,
Я был очень рад получить от тебя весточку. Извини, я не писал целую вечность из-за занятости в школе.
В своем письме ты просишь меня рассказать тебе о новостях в школе. С удовольствием. Мы очень скучаем по тебе и с нетерпением ждем твоего возвращения. Как ты знаешь, мои друзья и я любим многие виды спорта, но больше всего мы любим футбол. Это игра моей мечты. Я играю за мой школьный футбольный клуб "Школьник". Мы хорошие игроки, ты знаешь. Mы выиграли последние соревнования. Это было здорово!
Расскажи несколько слов о себе и своей новой школе и друзьях. Ты вступил в какой-нибудь спортивный клуб? Тебе нравятся твои новые учителя?
Это все на сегодня. Мне нужно идти в магазин за продуктами.
Передай привет своей семье.
Пиши как можно быстрее.
Андрей
ответ:
london would not be london without the river thames. it flows 215 miles across the english countryside and then through the heart of the great city before it reaches the sea. the thames has played an extremely important part in making england what it is today.
england had very few roads in the past, so the thames provided a major highway between london and many parts of the country. people could also send supplies of food and other goods to and from london by boat. in times of war, london was protected from sea attacks because they built castles and forts at the mouth of the river. people from the london area got their drinking water from the thames, and thirsty cows and sheep were a common sight along its banks.
with the industrial revolution in the 18th century, the thames became one of the busiest waterways in the world. factories made and exported goods of all kinds. so people became rich and many of them built beautiful houses along the banks oh the river. the famous writer charles dickens spent part of his childhood there and later wrote about the thames in his books.
today the thames has become a symbol of london, just as much as big ben or buckingham palace. if you take a stroll along its banks you'll have a day full of pleasant surprises. you can admire bridges built in many different architectural styles. the most famous one is probably tower bridge which actually opens up 1,000 times a year to let ships through. or you might be lucky enough to see london's rowing event, the oxford and cambridge boat race, which takes place on the river every spring. whether you're a londoner or a visitor, the thames will always have something to offer you.
