I. Everybody relishes speaking about the weather. Now we are waiting for your description of the weather. Is it wonderful or nasty today outdoors? What mood have you got in such weather? What does the weather-forecast promise?
Чтобы закрепить тему, какая погода зимой, пишем – письмо на английском языке.
Hello, Olya / Kolya!
I haven’t heard from you for ages! And, at last, I have got this letter from you! The news that you had entered the dancing / the football club made me glad greatly!
As for my events, we are having New Year’s holidays now and my free time is much enough to do my private things. That’s a pity, but the weather this year isn’t wintery. There is no snow outdoors. It is always sleeting. On the pavements there is endless snow-broth. And I would prefer frosty and even crimpy weather when there are snow-banks everywhere and we can make snowmen and fortresses. I feel like skating on the smooth ice. It is joyful to sledge from the slide. But snow is always melting. It melts as soon as it falls down! And what about you? What are you doing during the holidays? What weather do you enjoy? And what activity do you prefer in the weather you like best?
Sorry, but I have to stop writing the letter: it is time to go to bed – tomorrow I am on duty and will have to get up earlier. I am looking forward to your reply.
Sincerely yours, Natasha.
