Списьмом : ) you have received a letter from your english-speaking pen friend arthur. 's my best friend's 16th birthday party next week, but i don't know what to buy him. i need your help and advice! have you ever bought a birthday present for a friend? what's the best way to choose what to buy? what if they don't like

Dear Arthur,
Thanks for your letter. You asked me if I have an advice for you, well I have.
  First of all, you should know what your friend likes. For example, if your friend is fan of pens, pencils etc. then buy him unique pen/pencil. If your friend likes LEGO or toys, then buy him LEGO set. If your friend fan of Star Wars, then buy him a glass or T-shirt. But for everything I put in this letter upper can walk into shadows once I'll tell you, that best gift on birthday is book. Interesting book... With surprise inside of it. For instance, money. You can put $10 inside of the book. It'll be good surprise for your friend.
  Well, anyway I have to go now. I'm looking forward for your letter.

Bye,
Someone (тут должно быть твое имя)

Я предлагаю такой Берёте лист бумаги формата А4 нарезаете его на полоски примерно шириной сантиметра 4. На одной стороне пишете английское слово красным фломастером, например слово:" head" ,переворачиваете эту же карточку и пишете перевод этого слово синим цвето -"голова", подобные карточки делаете для всех слов и просто играете в них. Например сначала раскладываете английский варианты слов перед собой и пытаетесь угадать, как это слово переводится, затем переворачивается и проверяете, если верно, то откладываете в правую сторону, если неверно в левую. Затем играете с теми карточками, которые хуже запомнили, потом снова все вместе выкладываете карточки. А затем переворачиваете их все русской стороной и пытаетесь перевести на английский, если верно -откладываете  вправо, неверно-влево. 15 минут и все слова будете знать как "Отче наш"

My hobby - a sport and football 
I can not imagine my life if I did not have football. On weekends, always trying to get together with friends to play football. 
But unfortunately, it turns out infrequently. Especially in winter. I love to watch others play football, watch the beautiful game in the stadium did not go so often, but you can on TV. Beautiful, tactical game and a spectacular treasure most. 
I really want to play for this football club. My friends and I regularly attend home matches of the team, "growth" and cheer for our team even though we have now and the problems. 
I myself have spent several years in football professionally but then from the foot injury I had to leave my favorite pastime, and etommoya football career ended.
