Dear Mom, guess where I am writing this letter - I am sitting on the edge of the Grand Canyon! We leave Santa Fe two nights ago and arrive here early yesterday morning. And let me tell you, the Grand Canyon is really GRAND! I have already taken a lot of photos so that you can see them, and soon I will take a few more, but in fact, Mom, you won’t believe how great it is! It extends 277 miles from end to end — at a depth of a mile, and in some places — at a mile — and there are so many incredible colors in the rock! Blues, reds, violets, oranges, greens, yellows, and so on. There is a funny story about how the Spaniards first discovered the canyon. When the Spanish explorer first came here in 1540, he sent two of his men to the canyon for research. He told them: "Go there and quickly inspect." Quick look around! No wonder they will never return. They just die there, as long as they have a "look around." You see, the Spaniards never imagined even something so big, so they cannot guess its real size. In any case, we are probably going to spend several days here, but we have not yet decided what we will do after this. See you in a couple of weeks. Love, Mike.

My favorite sport - it's ice skating. I love it for many reasons. Ice skating is available in winter, on ice. And in the summer, in special stadiums. Skating fun. You can have fun spinning on the ice, laughing. A lot of people come in the winter for ice skating. They can learn and start making friends. And when skating, not cold. It would seem that the winter is very cold season. But in the company of new friends, it's all the same. At this time you lace together with other friends. And I want to say that skating - the best sport. With it you can have fun, laugh, make new friends. I advise everyone to this sport. Перевод:Мой самый любимый вид спорта - это катание на коньках. Люблю я его по многим причинам. Кататься на коньках можно и зимой, на льду. И летом, на специальных стадионах. Кататься на коньках очень весело. Можно весело кружится по льду, смеясь. Множество людей приходят зимой покататься на коньках. С ними можно познакомиться, и начать дружить. И когда катаешься на коньках, совсем не холодно. Казалось бы, зима очень холодное время года. Но в компании новых друзей, это всё равно. В это время ты кружишься вместе с другими знакомыми. Я хочу сказать, что катание на коньках - самый лучший вид спорта. С ним можно веселиться, смеяться, заводить новых друзей. Я всем советую этот вид спорта.
