Dear Germiona,

Thank you for you letter. It's always nice to hear from you.

Now I'll answer your questions. Yes, l like travelling with my parents or with my friends.  I like to travel by plane, or train, or in a car. As for hotels, I don't like them.       I like camping most of all. It's really great.  

Yes, I have friends abroad and I sometimes come to visit them.

By the way, in summer I'm going on a yacht trip with a friend of mine and I invite you to join us. It’s so romantic to steer a yacht watching a beautiful sunset, isn’t it?  What do you think of it? If you like the idea and have free time in July, drop me a line as soon as possible.

Bye for now. Looking forward to your reply.

Best wishes,

Mary

Дорогая Гермиона,

за письмо. Всегда приятно услышать новости от тебя.

Я люблю путешествовать. Я люблю путешествовать на самолете, или поезде, или в машине. Что касается отелей, то я не люблю отели. Мне больше всего нравится кемпинг. Это действительно здорово.  

Да, у меня есть друзья за границей, и я иногда приезжаю к ним в гости. Кстати, летом я поеду на море и мы отправимся в путешествие на яхте с моим другом, и я приглашаю тебя присоединиться к нам. Это так романтично плыть на яхте, любоваться красивым закатом, не так ли?  Если тебе нравится идея и у тебя есть свободное время в июле, напишите мне об этом, как можно скорее.

Пока-пока. Жду твой ответ.

С наилучшими пожеланиями,

Мэри

Dear Alex,

How are you? I am in the capital of England - in London. My parents and I have always dreamed of visiting this beautiful city.

There are many beautiful old buildings. We have already visited Westminster Abbey, Big Ben (now called Elizabeth Tower), the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, the Cathedral of St. Paul's Cathedral, London Bridge, the Tower of London and the wax museum Madame Tussauds. In this museum there are figures of famous people from pop stars to prime ministers, made of wax. They look like the real thing. It's so interesting.

My parents and I walk now for Trafalgar Square. At its center is Nelson's Column, which is at the base of the statue is guarded by four lions. By the way, I sent you this postcard with a picture of Trafalgar Square.

The weather today is not very foggy and rainy. But it does not spoil our walk.

We made a lot of pictures. Next week we'll be home and I'll show you them.

Do not miss the opportunity to visit England and London.

Regards,

Maria
