Ну вот письмо написала на русском ,и перевала на англискии язык!!)
можете я подумать что я скопирована из интернета но нет )
Если не верити я больше вам не могу

Дорогой Алекс, 

за твое письмо. Приятно было получить весточку от тебя. 

Я хотел бы рассказать тебе о моих выходных. Мой последний уйкенд не был однообразный. В пятницу я остался дома и смотрел телевизор. Пришел мой друг и мы вечером смотрели фильм на компьютере. Этот фильм назывался «Слишком быстро, слишком яростно - 3", и это было очень интересно. В воскресенье я отдыхал весь день дома. Утром я вспомнил, что у меня было домашнее задание, поэтому я сделал его. Вечером смотрел телевизор, а потом пошел спать. 

Я думаю, что мой отдых зависит от сезона, потому что зимой я меньше гуляю на улице, чем летом. Летом есть много развлечений! 

Я предпочитаю проводить свои выходные со своими родителями и друзьями, потому что мы с ними много веселимся. Я люблю свои выходные и свою семью! 

напиши о твоих выходных.

С наилучшими пожеланиями,

Иван

Dear Alex,

Thank you for your letter. It was nice to hear from you. 

I would like to tell you about my weekend. My last weekend was not monotonous. On Friday, I was staying at home and watching TV. My friend arrived and we were watching a film on the computer in the evening. This movie was called "Too fast too furious 3" and it was very interesting. On Sunday, I was relaxing all day at home. In the morning, I remembered that I had homework; so I did it. In the evening, I was watching TV and afterwards I went to bed.

I think my rest depends on the season, because in winter I walk less than in summer. In summer there are a lot of entertainments!

I prefer to spend my weekends with my parents and friends because I have a lot of fun with them. I love my weekend and my family!

Please, write about your weekend.

Best wishes,

Ivan
