Dear Mandy*,

I want to tell you about my school, my class and my favorite subjects. First of all, I'm going to tell you about my class.  My class is very fun.** Sometimes we go camping together; there we play and have fun. Soon we will go to Chertanovo, I think it's going to be an interesting trip. And now I'm going to tell you about my favorite subjects. I like litrature and biology the most. I never get bored on litrature or biology lessons. And I don't like geometry and algebra because I'm not good at mathematics.*** I just really don't like math lessons. But most of all I hate georaphy, because it's always boring in the georaphy class and we often have tests. But in general, we have a good school. We also hold concerts and sometimes play games, like for example, running and answering the questions. I really do like my school. And what's your favorite subjects? Do you like your school? Tell me more about it, I will wait for your reply :) 

See you!

* Я начала письмо с Dear xyz потому, что если ты пишешь письмо в офф. стиле, то письмо следует начинать таким образом. Но если ты пишешь своему другу, скажем, электронное письмо, то проще будет начать письмо с простого Hi, Mandy! ну или Hey, Mandy!

** They are (very) fun - это неформальное выражение, но на экзамене такое вроде прощают.

*** Заметь, я немного изменила текст, и получается вот такой перевод: "И мне не нравится геометрия и алгебра, потому что я не очень разбираюсь в математике". Как тебе?

У меня есть привычка заканчивать письма с фразами типа "See you!" или "Until the next time", хотя всегда можно воспользоваться простым "Bye!".
