I would like to tell you about a great Maslenitsa celebration in Russia. It is celebrated on last Sunday of March, when winter is losing its rights and spring comes. On this day there are Russian great folk festivals with horses, getting a living rooster from the post, a lot of jokes, songs and dances. On the streets of cities, towns and villages different mummers walk, they offer everybody hot tea and Russian pancakes with different toppings: honey, jam, butter, eggs! But most importantly is the effigy of winter that is burnt and everyone rejoices the beautiful spring coming.

Susan!
We are in Paris with my parents. We arrived here three days ago. It is raining here, but we stayed in a luxurious hotel, where I could swim in an open-air pool. The food was outstanding. I tasted the frog’s legs. It was amazing! Now we are going to visit the Louvre. I hope to see you soon.
Your Becky
ПЕРЕВОД: Сьюзан! Мы с родителями в Париже. Мы прибыли сюда три дня назад. Идет дождь, но мы остановились в шикарном отеле, где я могла плавать в открытом бассейне. Еда была выше всяких похвал. Я пробовала лягушачьи лапки. Это было потрясающе! Сейчас мы собираемся посетить Лувр. Надеюсь скоро увидеться. Твоя Бекки
