There are very many large cities in the USA.

Washington, the capital of the United States of America, is situated on the Potomac River. In comparison with such ancient historical cities as, for example, Rome, London, Moscow or Paris, Washington is quite young. The capital owes much to the first Presidento f the USA — George Washington. It was G. Washington, who chose the place for the capital and laid in 1790 the corner-stone of the Capitol, where Congress sits. Washington has many historical places. The largest and highest among the buildings is the Capitol with its great House of Representatives and the Senate chamber. There are no sky-scrapers in Washington because no other building must be higher than the Capital.

New York is the largest city in the USA and the biggest sea-port. It is situated in the mouth of the Hudson River. New York was founded by the Dutch. It is interesting to know that Manhattan Island — the central part of New York — was bought from the local Indians by the Dutch for 24 dollars. That was the most profitable commercial deal in the US history. Today Manhattan is the heart of business and commercial life of the country. New York is the city of skyscrapers. The highest of them is the 102–storeyed building. There are many other places of interest in New York: Central Park, Times Square, Rockefeller Centre, the shopping districts and the United Nations Building. In Manhattan, at Broadway, there is Columbia University, one of the biggest universities of the USA

Hi Ben,
I was happy to receive your letter.
You asked me about sport, so here's the answers:
My friends usually play basketball and football, because we can play them on our PE lessons. Also, on PE lessons in my school we run, jump and play pionerball.
In winter, people in my country often make snomen, play snowballs, ski and skate, because winter in Russia is really cold. What do you usually do in summer? What sports does your family prefer? What do you do on PE lessons?
Write back soon.
Best wishes,
...
