Sport is very important in our life. The general belief is that a person who goes in for sports can’t be weak and ill. Physically inactive people get old earlier that those, who find time for sport activity . And of course good health is better than good medicine.
People all over the world are fond of sports and games. In our country sport is being widely popularized as well. The most popular kinds of sport are football, volleyball, basketball, tennis, figure-skating, aerobics, ping-pong and swimming. A lot of people are fond of jogging . In schools and colleges sport is a compulsory subject. Many young people attend sport sections. Some of them dream to become professional sportsmen.
As for me, I can’t imagine my life without sport. In summer I go jogging every morning and when I have free time I attend swimming pool. In winter I like to skate with my friends. It’s fun. Also I’m fond of aerobics. First of all aerobics helps to keep myself fit. It also attracts me because it resembles dancing.
In conclusion I’d like to say that I’m absolutely sure that doing sports is the best way to keep fit . Sport makes our bodies strong, it prevents us from getting too fat , and makes us more self-organized and better disciplined.
Перевод текста Sport in my life. Спорт в моей жизни
Спорт очень важен в нашей жизни. Считается, что человек, который занимается спортом, не может быть слабым и больным. Люди, которые ведут малоподвижный образ жизни, стареют раньше, чем те, которые находят время для спорта. И конечно, крепкое здоровье лучше, чем хорошее лекарство.
Люди всего мира любят спорт и игры. В нашей стране, спорт тоже широко распространен. Наиболее популярные виды спорта – это футбол, волейбол, баскетбол, теннис, фигурное катание, аэробика, пинг-понг и плавание. Много людей любят бег трусцой. В школах и колледжах спорт – обязательный предмет. Многие подростки посещают спортивные секции. Некоторые из них мечтают стать профессиональными спортсменами.
Что касается меня, я не могу представить свою жизнь без спорта. Каждое утро летом я бегаю трусцой, и когда у меня есть время, я посещаю бассейн. Зимой я люблю кататься на коньках со своими друзьями. Это весело. Также я люблю заниматься аэробикой. Прежде всего, аэробика помогает мне быть в форме. Я выбрала аэробику еще и потому, что она похожа на танец.
В заключении, хотела бы сказать, что я абсолютно уверена, что занятия спортом – это лучший способ поддержания себя в форме. Спорт делает наше тело сильным, препятствует ожирению, и делает нас более организованными и дисциплинированными.

Sport in My Life
Sport has always been the essential part of a healthy mankind life. To my mind it helps us to keep our body strong, active and fit. And it also makes our personality disciplined, organized and optimistic. Fortunately sport is getting more popular in our country. Most people go to the gym several times a week, they are keen on jogging, playing football, hockey, volleyball, basketball or tennis. Quite a lot of people go regularly to swimming-pools, ski-centers and skating-rinks.
It’s funny but there are some people who spend most of the time in front of TV watching football channels or figure-skating championships, for example. And they proudly call themselves devoted sportsmen. I think they are just passive amateurs and fans of some sports teams. And it goes without saying that watching sports events and doing sports are not the same things at all.
As for me, I’ve been fond of sports activities since my childhood. To tell the truth I prefer team games because I like feeling support of my partners in such games. Volleyball is my favorite. You have to be fast and give unexpected balls to your competitors on the other side of the net. At school I was the captain of our volleyball team and we took part in our city matches. I enjoyed the atmosphere of competitions and the sweet taste of our victories. Sometimes we lost, of course, but we tried to accept our defeat with dignity. And now when summer comes we often play beach volleyball.
I really can’t imagine my way of life without sport. I like regular training. It keeps my body healthy and young.
Перевод
Спорт всегда был неотъемлемой частью здорового образа жизни человечества. По моему мнению, он помогает нам поддерживать тело сильным, активным и подтянутым. Он также делает нашу личность дисциплинированной, организованной и оптимистичной. К счастью, спорт становится все более популярным в нашей стране. Большинство людей посещают тренажерный зал несколько раз в неделю, они увлекаются бегом, игрой в футбол, хоккей, волейбол, баскетбол или теннис. Довольно многие регулярно ходят в бассейны, на лыжные базы и на катки.
Это забавно, но существуют люди, которые проводят большую часть своего времени перед телевизором, просматривая футбольные каналы или чемпионаты по фигурному катанию, к примеру. И они с гордостью называют себя увлеченными спортсменами. Мне кажется, они просто являются пассивными любителями и фанатами спортивных команд. И, разумеется, смотреть спортивные события и заниматься спортом – это совсем не одно и то же.
Что касается меня, я увлекаюсь спортом с детства. Честно говоря, я предпочитаю командные игры, так как люблю чувствовать поддержку партнеров в таких играх. Волейбол – моя любимая игра. Нужно быть быстрым и подавать неожиданные мячи своим соперникам по другую сторону сетки. В школе я был капитаном нашей волейбольной команды, и мы участвовали в городских матчах. Мне нравилась атмосфера соревнования и сладкий вкус наших побед. Иногда мы проигрывали, конечно, но старались принимать поражение с достоинством. А сейчас, когда приходит лето, мы часто играем в пляжный волейбол.
Я действительно не могу представить свой образ жизни без спорта. Мне нравятся регулярные тренировки. Они поддерживают мое тело здоровым и молодым.

Письмо другу на английском с переводом
| Dear friend.
I am writing to you to tell about the party that took place last weekend at Tom’s house. |
Дорогой друг.
Пишу тебе, чтобы рассказать о вечеринке, которая состоялась в прошлые выходные в доме Тома. |
| Unfortunately, you weren’t there but I hoped to the last moment that you would make it. Nevertheless, I am more than sure that you will visit it next time because I am going to tell you about the party. | К сожалению, тебя там не было, но я до последнего момента надеялся, что ты придешь. Тем не менее, я более чем уверен, что ты побываешь у него в следующий раз, потому что я расскажу тебе о той вечеринке. |
| When I came to Tom’s house, I decided to help him and started decorating walls with colorful strips. This decoration made a magic atmosphere for the party. While I was helping Tom to prepare drinks, the guests came and joined us to help. A lot of different people gathered there. Such as painters, musicians and writers. The atmosphere was special and warm. I haven’t met those people before but I got the impression like I have known them all my life or I had met them elsewhere. | Когда я пришел в дом Тома, я решил помочь ему и начал украшать стены цветными ленточками. Эти украшения сделали волшебную атмосферу для вечеринки. В то время, как я помогал Тому с напитками, пришли гости и присоединились к нам, чтобы помочь. Собралось много разных людей. Таких как художники, музыканты и писатели. Атмосфера была особенная и теплая. Я не встречал этих людей раньше, но у меня сложилось впечатление, будто я знал их всю жизнь, или где-то уже встречал. |
| I met there a painter Ann. She was wearing a red dress with a big yellow hat. Her look was strange but when she told that she was painter all my doubts disappeared because almost all painters wear strange clothes. Furthermore, she told me that you were her classmate and that she was sorry that you had not come. I gave her your phone number. | Я встретил там художницу Энн. Она была одета в красное платье с большой желтой шляпе. Вид у нее был странным, но когда она сказала, что она художница, все мои сомнения исчезли, потому что почти все художники немного странно одеваются. Кроме того, она рассказала мне, что ты был ее одноклассником и что ей очень жаль, что ты не приехал. Я дал ей твой номер телефона. |
| One of the guests was too familiar to me but I didn’t know how I could know him. His name was Andry. It appeared he was a famous musician and he was a cousin of Tom as I learned later. Andry brought some good music and we were dancing all night long. | Один из гостей был хорошо знаком со мной, но я не понимал, откуда я его знаю. Его звали Андрей. Оказалось, что он известный музыкант, и как я узнал позже, он двоюродный брат Тома. Андрей принес хорошую музыку и мы танцевали всю ночь напролет. |
| Tom cooked a big pizza, which was delicious. A lot of salads were tasty as well. There was a wide choice of juices and sweets too. I should say, it was superb. | Том приготовил большую пиццу, которая была просто восхитительна. Много салатов так же были очень вкусными. Был широкий выбор соков и сладостей. Я должен сказать, это было великолепно. |
| We had much fun. To my mind, everyone was enjoyed. I wish you would feel better soon. | У нас было очень весело. На мой взгляд, всем понравилось. Я желаю тебе скорейшего выздоровления.С наилучшими пожеланиями,Сэм. |
Пример письма другу
Dear Helen,
How are the things going on? Did something new happen in your life? Having received your letter, I wanted to answer it immediately. But I was working a lot during the last two weeks. So I was pressed for time and did not manage to carry out my intentions.
In my country spring has already set. It is quite warm and really sunny all days long. Being at work I always imagine myself strolling down some parks. I wish you could join me! It would be funny! Some days ago my friend advised me to read a very interesting book. I did it and I would like you to know this author. Are you ready to read good litterature?
Tell me more about your work and free time. Are you satisfied with all this? What are your plans for this summer? Maybe we will be able to meet one day?
Truly yours,
Jessica
Перевод
Дорогая Хелен,
Как ты поживаешь? Есть что-нибудь новенькое? Я хотела сразу же ответить на твое письмо, но в последние две недели у меня было много работы. Времени не хватало, чтобы осуществить свои планы.
У нас уже пришла весна. На улице тепло и солнечно целый день. Во время работы я постоянно представляю себя гуляющей по различным паркам. Я бы хотела, чтобы ты составила мне компанию. Было бы весело! Несколько дней назад подруга посоветовала мне почитать интересную книгу. Я ее прочла и хотела бы познакомить тебя с этим автором. Ты готова читать хорошую литературу?
Расскажи мне больше о работе и отдыхе. Тебя все устраивает? Какие у тебя планы на лето? Может, мы как-нибудь встретимся?
Всегда твоя,
Джессика
Письмо другу на английском — о школе
Dear Emily,
Thank you for your letter. It was great to hear about your new house.
As for my new school it’s very big! It has three computer rooms and wonderful sport facilities. Actually, it seems a nice place and I enjoy studying there. The kids in my class are very friendly.
I’ve already made some new friends and often meet after classes.
I’ve got only one new subject this year. It’s Economics and I’m beginning to think that it’s not difficult, after all!
By the way, what music styles do you enjoy? Have you got any favorite bands? Would you like to go to their concert? As for me, I prefer Radiohead. They are cool!
I’d better go now.
Lots of love,
Ann
Перевод
Дорогая Эмилия,
Спасибо за твое письмо. Было замечательно прочитать о твоем новом доме.
Что касается моей новой школы, она очень большая! В ней есть три компьютерных класса и замечательные спортивные объекты. Действительно, она — прекрасное место, и я люблю учиться в ней. Дети в моем классе очень дружелюбны.
Я уже завела некоторых новых друзей и часто встречаюсь с ними после уроков.
В этом году у меня есть только один новый предмет. Это — экономика, и я начинаю в конце-концов думать, что она не трудная!
Между прочим, какими музыкальными стилями ты наслаждаешься? Есть у тебя любимые группы? Хотела бы ты сходить на их концерт? Что касается меня, я предпочитаю Radiohead. Они прикольные!
Мне надо идти сейчас.
С большой любовью, Энн
ЕГЭ Английский — личное письмо другу — универсальный шаблон
Одним из заданий в ЕГЭ по английскому языку является написание личного письма в ответ на письмо "англоговорящего друга по переписке". Объём письма ограничен 100-140 словами.
В ОГЭ начиная с 2020 года письмо планируется отменить, про ЕГЭ пока неизвестно.

Написание письма на иностранном языке является несложным заданием, которое необходимо выполнить максимально быстро, чтобы оставить время на выполнение других заданий. Итак, рассмотрим единые правила написания личного письма.

2. Основная часть письма (2–3 абзаца). В ней вы должны раскрыть все аспекты, указанные в задании. Не забудьте задать необходимые вопросы.

Dear Mary,
Thanks a lot for your letter. I hope you passed all your tests!
First of all, let me tell you about my one-week package holiday to Rome. Everything was OK, but we didn’t like our hotel. It was too noisy and the food was awful. We even had a stomachache and consulted a doctor. However, all the excursions were extremely interesting. We visited the Vatican and were impressed by the famous St. Peter’s Cathedral. I also enjoyed the Colosseum and other sights of Rome. All in all, we enjoyed our holiday.
And what about you? What are your plans for the summer? Will you come to visit us? Russia is a unique country and I’ll show you lots of interesting things. If you make up your mind, let me know what cities you would like to visit.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Lots of love,
Lucy

Thanks for your letter. I’m glad you passed your History test!
I’m sorry you don’t get on well with your parents. As for me, I have practically no problems with mine, although we do quarrel sometimes because I spend too much time playing computer games. In this case I try to talk to them and find the way out. Unfortunately, I can meet my friends only at weekends and we usually play football together. It’s our favourite game.
And how do you get on with your sister? Do you play together? Do you help her with her homework? I wish I had a sister or a brother!
Anyway, keep smiling whatever happens! I’d better go now as I’ve got loads of homework to do (as always).
Write back soon!
Lots of love,
Kate

Hi! How’s it going? Thanks for your last letter. I’m glad you are in your school football team now!
In your letter you asked me about football. Well, I’m really fond of it. It’s a great game and I’m always happy when my team wins. But I don’t watch football matches on TV because it’s rather boring. I prefer playing to watching as it’s more exciting. I’m also keen on roller-skating. It’s fun to take part in street competitions and to perform different tricks.
Anyway, what about your preparation for the National Championship? Do you work hard? How many times a week do you train? Do you get on well with your team-mates?
Well, I’d better go now as I have to tidy up my room. Write back soon!
All the best,
Ivan

Thanks a lot for your letter. Sounds like you had a great time in London! What impressed you most of all? Did you take any pictures? Were you tired?
I’m glad I can help you with your project on famous singers. Well, my favourite singer is Dima Bilan. He made his debut at the festival ‘New Wave’ in 2002 so he has already been singing for 10 years. Now Dima is a famous pop singer known for his songs like ‘Never Let You Go’ and ‘Believe’. I enjoy his songs because of his beautiful voice. Un-fortunately, I’ve never been to his concerts but I’d love to.
Anyway, let me know if you have any other questions. I’d better go now as I have to take my dog for a walk. Write soon!
Yours,
Alex

Thanks for your letter. I’m glad you liked the postcard I sent you!
In your letter you asked me about my attitude to soaps. Well, I agree that soaps don’t show life realistically because their plots are rather unbelievable and all emotions are exaggerated. As for me, I prefer whodunits, which keep me in suspense till the very end. I usually watch films at home but I never miss a chance to go to the cinema with friends. It’s much more exciting to watch films together.
I miss you greatly! Write back soon and tell me all your latest news. How is your sister? Has she passed her driving test? And what about your mother? Has she got over the flu?
I’d better go now as I promised mum to help her with the washing.
Love,
Ann
You have received a letter from your English- speaking pen-friend Rob who writes
...and then there’s this chess tournament on Saturday. If I win, I’ll be the champion of our school. Who knows?
Oh, yeah. I wanted to ask you something. We have to write a report on technology for school. Could you tell me a few things about how you use technology in your life? You know, computers, mobiles, TV, that sort of things. Oh, and tell me something about the other members of your family, too, and how they use technology.
Anyway, I was talking to Sam the other day and he says that...
Write back to Rob.

ask 3 questions about playing chess
Dear Rob,
It was great to hear from you! I’m glad you managed to talk to Sam. Please give my best regards to him.
You asked me about technology. Well, I’ve got a new mobile. It’s got a camera so I’m taking lots of pictures at the moment. I’ve also got a computer but I use it mainly for surfing the Net. Of course we’ve got things like a TV, a DVD player and a music centre. My parents usually watch TV whereas my brother spends hours playing computer games.
Anyway, I’m glad you’ve made such progress in chess. Is it difficult to learn how to play it? Will I be able to do it on my own? How can I get started?
I’ve got to go now as I’m helping my Dad in the garage.
All the best,
Andrew
This is part of a letter from Jane, your English pen-friend.
...My home town is rather small but I like it. The people here are very friendly and they try and keep our town clean and beautiful. And do you enjoy living in a big city? How do you spend your spare time there?
Anyway, I’m thinking of travelling around Russia next summer. Could you tell me what weather to expect? Should I take warm clothes with me?..

Dear Jane,
Thanks for your letter. I’m glad you’re going to visit Russia. The weather in summer is usually hot so I don’t think you’ll need lots of warm clothes. However, you’d better take a jacket as nights can be quite cool.
In your letter you asked me about the life in a big city. As for me, I enjoy living in Moscow as there are lots of parks and cosy cafes, museums and galleries. In the evenings I usually go for a walk with my friends and at the weekend we go to the theatre or visit a museum. Have you got any museums in your town? Are they free for students? Are there any sports facilities?
I’d better go now as I’ve got to do my homework - boring! Can’t wait to see you!
Lots of love,
Rita
This is part of a letter from your German pen-friend.
...I find it a bit difficult to understand English grammar. What about you? Do you do grammar exercises? Do you think that it’s necessary to remember all grammar rules?
Have you got any plans for the summer? I was thinking of going to a language school in the UK to improve my English. It would be a lot more fun if we went together. What do you think?
Anyway, I have to go now as I’m helping my Dad in the shop.
Hope to hear from you soon.
All the best,
Kerstin

ask 3 questions about the trip to the UK
Dear Kerstin,
Thanks for your letter. I’m glad your arm is out of plaster now!
I agree with you that English grammar is rather difficult so I think it’s necessary to learn grammar rules and to do exercises. As for me, I do it on a regular basis.
Going to a language school together is a great idea! We could practise our English and visit lots of places of interest. I’m absolutely free this summer so I can go whenever you like.
Write and tell me what dates suit you best. Which course would you like to do? What level do you think we are? Where would you prefer to stay? Meanwhile, I’ll make some enquiries about language schools in the UK. I’ll get in touch soon. I hope it all works out!
Lots of love,
Helen
This is part of a letter from Adam, your English pen-friend, whom you’re going to visit in summer.
...As for me, I’m crazy about skateboarding and I love rock and pop music. I think my favourite band at the moment is Radiohead. Do you know them? What kind of things do you like doing and what music do you enjoy?
Is there anything you particularly want to do while you’re here? / guess you’ll be busy at the language school during the day, but we can do something in the evenings and at weekends. Also, let me know if there are any kinds of food you don’t like...
Write back to Adam.

ask 3 questions about his family and the language school
Dear Adam,
Thanks for your letter. It was great to hear from you. I can’t wait to meet you and your parents in July!
Well, we’ve obviously got a lot in common. I’m also crazy about rock music and my favourite band is Radiohead, too! I’ve never done skateboarding, though, but I’d love to try. I enjoy basketball and I love playing computer games. Do you?
I’m a bit worried about the language school. Is it far from your house? Should I bring any books with me? Will I have to do much homework? If I have, I’m afraid I’ll be busy in the evenings. Actually, I wouldn’t mind any activity. It will be fun just to be in another country.
Anyway, I know we’re going to be really good friends. Please write back soon.
All the best,
Sasha
