Dear Jess, How are you?
Дорогая Джесс, как дела?
| Dear Jess, | Дорогая Джесс, | |
| How are you? I’m sorry haven’t written to you for a while, but have been really busy. Let me tell you my news. I started at the local 6th form college last September, and I am studying for my A levels at the moment. I am going to become a lawyer when I grow up, so I’ll have to work hard and pass all my exams to get into a good university. | Как дела? Прости, что не писала тебе некоторое время, но я была по-настоящему занята. Позволь рассказать тебе мои новости. В прошедшем сентябре я пошла в местный колледж, в котором 6 классов, и в настоящий момент готовлюсь сдать экзамены на уровень “A”. Когда я вырасту, то собираюсь стать юристом, поэтому мне надо усердно работать и сдать все экзамены, чтобы поступить в хороший университет. | |
| My other news is that I have a new pet dog. I have had him for two months now and he’s really cute but sometimes a little naughty. For example, while I was walking him in the park yesterday, he ran off and it took me an hour and a half to find him again. | Другая моя новость – у меня новый домашний питомец. Он у меня уже два месяца, и он по-настоящему милый, но иногда немного вредный. Например, когда я гуляла с ним в парке вчера, он убежал, и у меня ушло полтора часа, чтобы вновь его найти. | |
| Anyway, I must go as I have some homework to do, but I promise will write again soon. | Ну ладно, мне надо идти, поскольку у меня еще работа по дому, но я обещаю, что вскоре вновь тебе напишу. | |
| Love, Poppy |
С любовью, Поппи |
