Из всех праздников, существующих в мире, я больше всего люблю мой день рождения. В этом году мы отпраздновали его дома, в тёплом семейном кругу. Мама испекла именинный торт, который был невероятно вкусным и красивым, так что я с большим удовольствием съел несколько кусков и с широкой улыбкой выслушал поздравления.

А потом настал самый долгожданный момент всего праздника: родители подарили мне большую энциклопедию про животных и детский телескоп, через который можно наблюдать за звёздами на ночном небе. Я так давно мечтал о нём!

Мой старший брат вручил мне новенькую игровую приставку, и мы начали соревноваться в видеоиграх. У нас была нечья!

Thank you for your last letters. I hope you are fine. You asked me about my school. As I know, our teachers like good students who are studying hard. I really like English, and I don't know why. I'm proud of my ability to speak one more language. However, our school has only one gymnasium, and we haven't enough time to do sports. At last, unfortunately, I did not join any school clubs. By the way, how long do you play basketball? How many players in your team? Do you enjoy it? Well, it's all about it. I look forward to hearing from you.
