Моя семья небольшая. Нас всего трое: мама, старший брат Джон, которому девятнадцать лет, и я. Мой отец умер три года назад. В свободное время я много купаюсь, другое мое хобби — футбол. Ты предложил хорошую идею — писать тебе письма по-русски, но я, к сожалению, еще неважно знаю язык и делаю много ошибок. Тебе будет приятно узнать, что в своем письме ты не сделал ни одной ошибки. Я надеюсь, что ты скоро напишешь мне. Искренне твой
Dear Boris, I was delighted to receive your nice letter, and I am so glad to have a pen-pal in Russia. Let me tell you something about myself. I am just fifteen and I attend our local school. I am taking eight subjects in all, but my favorite ones are chemistry and Russian. I wish I knew more about Russian culture and history. My family is not very large. There are only three of us: my mother, my elder brother John, who is nineteen, and myself. My father died three years ago. In my spare time I do a lot of swimming, and my other hobby is football. It was certainly a good idea of yours to suggest my writing in Russian, but unfortunately I am not proficient enough yet and would make too many mistakes. You will be pleased to hear that in your letter you did not make any mistakes at all. 58
