Hello, Dear Santa!
I wish you to have a Merry Christmas! Be healthy and happy! I am sure that you are the best because you help to believe in wonders and bring the spirit of joy and happiness to many children around the world.
When I grow up I want to act just like you!
I think I have been a very good boy this year. Every day I help my mother about the house. I clean my room and often wash the dishes. I have tried my best not to quarrel with my little sister. I have not teased and called her names. I have played with her and even gaveher my favourite toy. It’s a nice teddy bear. But, Dear Santa, won’t you be so kind and give a nice doll to my sister. She will be happy to have a Barbie doll.
As for me, there is one thing I wish for Christmas. I want you to bring me a pretty little puppy, which I want to live in my house. I hope you have it. But my mommy is against the puppy, she says, that dogs must live out of doors, but not in the house.
Dear Santa, can you help me and say my mom that I am eager to have a puppy. I will always feed it and besides I will never forget to walk with it in the evenings!
Looking forward to my present.
My best wishes to Mrs. Claus, all the elves and reindeer!
Your friend, Valentin.
P.S. I will leave you yogurt and cookies again this year, because it seems to me you really liked my mommy’s cookies.
Здравствуй, дорогой Санта!
Я желаю тебе счастливого Рождества! Здоровья и весёлого настроения! Я уверен, что ты самый лучший на свете, потому что ты помогаешь верить в чудеса, и приносишь радость и веселье многим детям во всём мире. Когда я вырасту, я хочу быть похожим на тебя.
Я думаю, что я был хорошим мальчиком в этом году. Каждый день я помогаю маме по дому. Я убираю в своей комнате и очень часто мою посуду. Я старался не ссориться с младшей сестрёнкой. Я не обзывал и не дразнил её. Я играл с нею и даже подарил ей мою любимую игрушку. Это симпатичный медвежонок. Но, дорогой Санта, пожалуйста, подари моей сестрёнке куклу Барби. Она будет очень рада.
Я же больше всего на свете хочу симпатичного маленького щенка, который бы жил у меня дома. Я думаю, у тебя есть такой. Хотя моя мама против щенка, она говорит, что собаки должны жить на улице, а не в доме.
Дорогой Санта, не можешь ли ты мне помочь; скажи моей маме, что я очень, очень хочу щенка. Я всегда буду кормить его и не буду забывать гулять с ним по вечерам.
С нетерпением жду своего подарка.
Наилучшие пожелания Миссис Клаус, всем эльфам и оленям!
Твой друг, Валентин
P.S. Я оставлю тебе йогурт и печенье на столе, так как, мне кажется, тебе понравилось печенье, приготовленное моей мамой.
Here are four seasons in a year: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Every season is beautiful in its own way.
When spring comes nature awakens from its long winter sleep. The days become longer and the nights become shorter. The ground is covered with emeraldgreen grass and spring flowers. The air is fresh, the sky is blue and cloudless, and the sun shines brightly. The trees are in full blossom. The nightingale begins to sing its lovely songs, and sweet melodies may be heard from every wood and park. The days are warm and everything is full of life and joy.
Spring is followed by summer. The weather is usually fine in summer, but it can be very hot, especially in July. Sometimes there are storms with thunder and lightning. In summer people try to get away from the city noise and spend more time in the open air. They pick mushrooms and berries in the forest, swim in the rivers and lakes, go fishing and boating. Most people prefer to have their holidays in summer.
Autumn begins in September. The days become shorter and the nights become longer. The leaves turn yellow, red and brown and fall to the ground. Most birds fly away to warm countries. There's a short spell of dry sunny weather in September which is called Indian Summer. It's a beautiful time when the sky is cloudless, the trees around are golden, the air is transparent and it's still warm. But gradually it gets colder and colder. It often rains in October and November which makes autumn an unpleasant season.
In winter the sun sets early and rises late. The rivers and lakes are frozen over. Everything is covered with snow. Sometimes it's very cold, about 25-30 degrees below zero. Going out in such weather isn't very pleasant. Winter is a good time for sports. People go in for skating and skiing. Tobogganing is also popular, not as a kind of sports, but rather as fun.
As for me, I like all seasons, but I think there's nothing like late spring.
