Dear Peter,

Thanks for your letter. It was great to hear from you.

I had a great summer. We went to the seaside for a holiday. We stayed in a small hotel close to the beach and we went swimming every day. It was a lot of fun. Are you having a party for you birthday? Will you have a birthday cake? I would like to get you something. What present would you like?

Well, that's all for now. Have a wonderful time on your birthday. Write soon and tell me all about it.

Sasha

Перевод:

Дорогой Питер за твое письмо. Было здорово услышать тебя.

У меня было великолепное лето. Мы ездили к морю на каникулах. Мы останавливались в маленьком отеле рядом с пляжем и ходили купаться каждый день. Было очень весело. У тебя будет вечеринка в честь дня рождения? У тебя будет праздничный торт? Я бы хотел подарить тебе что-нибудь. Какой подарок ты бы хотел?

Ну, пока это все. Желаю прекрасно провести время на день рождения. Напиши скорее и расскажи мне все об этом.

С наилучшими пожеланиями,

Саша

Dear Robert,

Thanks for your email. I arrived home safely yesterday.

I had a wonderful time at your house and I would like to thank you and your family for your hospitality. You were all so warm and friendly. I loved your mum's cooking very much and I really enjoyed playing chess with your dad. Everyone made me feel like a part of the family.

I would love it if you would come and stay with me next month. Do you think you will be able to come? I really hope you can. Let me know as soon as you can so we can make the arrangements.

Thanks again and let's talk soon.

Best wishes,

Lee

Дорогой Роберт за твое электронное письмо. Я в целостности и сохранности прибыл вчера домой.

Я замечательно провел время у тебя дома, и я бы хотел поблагодарить тебя и твою семью за ваше гостеприимство. Вы все был так приветливы и дружелюбны. Мне очень понравилось, как готовила твоя мама, и мне действительно понравилось играть в шахматы с твоим папой. Каждый заставил меня почувствовать частью вашей семьи. Мне бы очень хотелось, если бы ты приехал и побыл со мной в следующем месяце. Как ты думаешь, ты бы смог приехать? Я очень надеюсь, что смог бы. Дай мне знать, как только сможешь, чтобы мы договорились.

Еще раз давай поговорим скорее.

С наилучшими пожеланиями,

Ли
