When  I was young I used to love 1)visiting my grandparents at their cottage by the sea. I couldn''t 2.wait for the school year to end. My father would 3.drive me to the cottage, where I loved 4staying for the whole summer.
I looked forward to 5going fishing with my grandfather. Most days we managed 6to catch a lot of fish but we would 7throw them all back into the water. Then we would 8swim in the clear blue sea. My grandmother loved 9cooking for us. I remember 10baking chocolate chip biscuit with her.She always let me 11eat a biscuit as soon as they came out of the ove. I can still 12taste them now, melting in my mouth! I''ll never forget 13spending those wonderful summers with my grandparents. I will always 14.keep the memory of them close to my heart.

Dear Paul,
Thank you for your letter. I'm happy to get it.
In your letter you ask me how I spent my summer. I think that most people spend the summer on the shores of ponds, swimming and sunbathing. As for me, I spent the summer with his grandmother in the village. We walked a lot in the woods, picking berries and mushrooms. I've seen a lot of wild animals and birds. Moreover, we met a large moose with huge antlers. I did not think that the forest is so interesting!
What animal would you like to buy? What breed? Boy or a girl?
Sorry, I have to go now.
Write back soon!
 Best wishes,
Alex
Дорогой Павел за твое письмо. Я счастлив, что получил его. В своем письме ты спрашиваешь меня как я провел лето. Я думаю, что большинство людей проводит лето на берегу водоемов, купаясь и загорая. Что касается меня, то я провел лето у бабушки в деревне. Мы много ходили по лесу, собирали ягоды и грибы. Я видел много диких зверей и птиц. Более того, мы встретили большого лося с огромными рогами. Я не думал, что в лесу так интересно! Какого животного ты бы хотел купить?Какой породы?Мальчика или девочку? Извини, я должен идти. Напишу тебе скоро еще! С наилучшими пожеланиями, Алекс
