Iwant to spend them in mountains. skiing is a very popular sport in my country. it is very interesting. even our prime minister likes skiing, it is his hobby. i began to ski with my father and sister in my childhood. we often go the forest and spend our time there. i think that the fresh air, clear nature and sport are very healthy for me. that’s why my hobby is skiing. the mountain-skiing camp site is situated in karpaty. it is about 200 kilometers from my сity. this camp site is very popular and many people visit it every year. there are 4 skiing tracks. three of them are for skiing and one is for snowboards. in addition, there is the elevator, a cafe and the house, where you can have a rest. the length of the track is about 3 kilometers. the speed that you can gather there is very fast. later, after this camp site i want to visit my grandfather who lives in another city. i miss him. so, that is all about my holidays. write to me more often. good luck. truly yours, maksim перевод письма на язык. дорогой антон, я пишу тебе, чтобы рассказать тебе о моих следующих зимних каникулах. я хочу провести их в горах. катание на лыжах - популярный вид спорта в моей стране. это интересно. даже наш премьер министр любит кататься на лыжах - это его хобби. я начал кататься на лыжах, когда был маленький, с моими папой и сестрой. мы часто бываем в лесу и проводим там свое время. я думаю, что свежий воздух, чистая природа и спорт полезны для меня. вот почему мое любимое хобби - катание на лыжах. горнолыжная база находится в карпатах. это в двухстах километрах от моего города. эта база популярна и каждый год ее посещают много людей. там есть 4 лыжные трассы. три из них - для лыж, одна - для сноуборда. также там есть подъемник, кафе и дом, где ты можешь отдохнуть. длина трассы примерно 3 километра. скорость, которую можно там развить, высока. затем, после этой базы, я хочу поехать к моему дедушке, который живет в другом городе. я по нему скучаю. итак, вот и все мои каникул. пиши мне чаще. удачи. искренне твой, максим
