дорогая мадлен,
за твое письмо! извини, что я не писала тебе так долго, но я была занята все это время.
было интересно узнать, какие сериалы ты любишь. конечно, это интересно, но я предпочитаю активный отдых. на мой взгляд, это более современный вид развлечений, который приносит пользу организму.
одно из моих любимых развлечений - коньки. я люблю ходить с друзьями в ледовый дворец в туле. там есть специально оборудованные залы для фигурного катания.
я также люблю другие развлечения, такие как поход в кино. это весело и интересно. вы можете смотреть все новые фильмы и обсуждать их с друзьями.
мадлен, ты сказала, что принимаешь участие в школьном спектакле. это интересно. как название этого спектакля? мне интересно, какую роль ты играешь в нем? скажи, , когда у вас будет выступление? я хотела бы его посмотреть.
к сожалению, я должна заканчивать.
с наилучшими пожеланиями,
алиса
