Dear Oleg,
I was very glad to hear from you again. Sorry, I haven't written for ages because of my school activities.
In your letter you ask me to tell you about news at school. With a pleasure. We miss you very much and looking forward to your returning. As you know my friends and I like many kinds of sports but best of all we like football. It's the game of my dream. I play for my school football club "Shkolnik". We are good players you know. We won last competition. It was great!
Tell me a few words about you and your new school and friend. Have you joined any sportclub? Do you like your new teachers?
That's for me today. I have to go to the shop for some food.
Best regards to your family.
Write soon.
Andrey
Дорогой Олег,
Я был очень рад получить от тебя весточку. Извини, я не писал целую вечность из-за занятости в школе.
В своем письме ты просишь меня рассказать тебе о новостях в школе. С удовольствием. Мы очень скучаем по тебе и с нетерпением ждем твоего возвращения. Как ты знаешь, мои друзья и я любим многие виды спорта, но больше всего мы любим футбол. Это игра моей мечты. Я играю за мой школьный футбольный клуб "Школьник". Мы хорошие игроки, ты знаешь. Mы выиграли последние соревнования. Это было здорово!
Расскажи несколько слов о себе и своей новой школе и друзьях. Ты вступил в какой-нибудь спортивный клуб? Тебе нравятся твои новые учителя?
Это все на сегодня. Мне нужно идти в магазин за продуктами.
Передай привет своей семье.
Пиши как можно быстрее.
Андрей
