перевод:

, (имя)! ты помнишь, я говорил тебе, что пойду в поместье жирафов? теперь я там! это так классно! я давно хотел поехать сюда! здесь есть жирафы. у нас был эксурсавод, и он рассказал нам об их весе, росте и особенностях. например, самец жирафа имеет рост 5,5–6,1 метра. ты можешь представить? и этот самец весит 900-1200 кг. у них всего 6 шейных позвоночников. ну, я надеюсь, что у тебя там тоже все хорошо. пока!

When i get back from school, i eat something quick and do my homework. after that i’m free to meet up with friends, to play computer games or to draw, which is my hobby. sometimes, i play volleyball or other active games with my friends at the school playground. in summertime i also like playing ping-pong and i’m rather good at it. weekends are a bit different. my parents usually give me some pocket money each week. i try to spend them reasonably. during the week i pay for lunch at the school canteen. sometimes i need to buy some stationery. at weekends i go out with my friends. sometimes we go to the cinema, sometimes to the pizza place. however, my favourite pastime at weekends is bowling. i like this game. i think it is not only entertaining but also social. bowling unites like-minded people and gives a chance to communicate with good friends, instead of sitting in front of the computer. i don’t mind computer games, but they can get addictive and certainly spending long hours in front of the screen is not healthy. it influences eyesight and brain activity. i keep in touch with some friends through social networks or chats, but i understand that real life communication is much better. удачи получи пятерку
