       Dear Ben,

      Thank you for your letter. Sorry for not writing for a long time. I am also  very busy preparing for my school exams in English and Social science.

     You asked me some questions and I want to answer them. First, I have chosen English language, because without the knowledge of English language it is difficult to get a highly paid job. Social science is a very necessary subject too. As for oral and written exams, I think I prefer oral exams because it is easier to speak than to write. Your third question was about my strategy to prepare for exams. Well, while getting ready for English exams I learn words, do grammar exercises  and practice informal conversations. For examination in social science I read articles from newspapers, and I learn facts and statistics.

      Sorry, I have to go, my mum is waiting for me.

      I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

       Best wishes,

       Ivan

ПРИМЕРНЫЙ ТЕКСТ:

Popular British Sports and Games

British people like sports and games. Their favourite sports are probably football, cricket and tennis, though many of them like such sports as golf and hockey, athletics and climbing, horse riding and boating, rugby and rowing. 

The British invented and developed many of the sports and games which are now played all over the world. Football is one of them. It was first developed in England. Now it is spread all over the country – in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Their national teams compete with each other every year. They take part in different competitions. The two best teams play in the Cup Final at Wembley Stadium in London. National teams of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland take part in European competitions and other international matches. 

Cricket is another popular summer sport. It is sometimes called the English national game. People play it everywhere: in schools, universities and in most cities and towns of Britain. Cricket is a very long game. International cricket matches can last for 5 days. 

Boxing is one of the oldest British sports. Golf was developed in Scotland and now is widely spread all over Britain.

Tennis, or lawn tennis, is also popular. The British hold their famous International Tennis Championship at Wimbledon in west London every June. People in Britain are also fond of swimming, boating and sailing. They are less interested in skiing and skating which are typically Russian sports.

I am fond of sport and this topic was really interesting for me.

Project 2: Health and Body Care

In this project you are to speak about healthy lifestyle: healthy food and doing exercises, about illnesses, medicine and doctors.

Health and Body Care

          Health is the most important thing for everyone. English people say health is above wealth. If you are wealthy but not healthy you can’t be happy. People can buy different things but they can't buy their health.

Nowadays people want to be strong. If you want to keep fit you should remember some good rules. First of all, get up early and go to bed early to keep fit. Then, take regular exercises. It`s a good idea to take a cold shower every morning. Of course, you should eat healthy food. What food is thought to be good for health? First of all, it is fruit and vegetables. They have a lot of vitamins [‘vaitэmins]. Vegetables are really delicious if they are eaten (cooked) as salads.  Dairy products are also the right food. Milk, cheese, yoghurt, cottage cheese, cream and sour cream can help you grow and be in good shape. Meat is full of vitamins and other good things (proteins), too. Remember that too much food makes you fat. Too many sweets are bad for you, especially for your teeth. If you don`t want to have bad toothache clean your teeth twice a day. Don`t forget to wash your hands before you eat. Never smoke to keep fit.

           Sometimes people fall ill. For example, they can catch a cold. They have a sore throat, start coughing and sneezing. So people have to go to the doctor. The doctor examines the patient. He listens to his chest and lungs. He asks to breath in deeply and then to breath out. He takes his temperature. After that the doctor prescribes some medicine for the patient`s throat. Of course he tells his patient how many times a day to take the medicine. The patient should follow his advice and take the medicine regularly and he will feel better and recover soon.

           Nowadays people want to be strong. If you want to keep fit you should remember some good rules. First of all, get up early and go to bed early to keep fit. Then, take regular exercises. It`s a good idea to take a cold shower every morning. Of course, you should eat healthy food. Don`t forget to wash your hands before you eat. Remember that too much food makes you fat. The wrong food makes you ill. Only the right food keeps you well. Too many sweets are bad for you, especially for your teeth. If you don`t want to have bad toothache clean your teeth twice a day. Never smoke to keep fit.

            Don`t forget that our health depends on us. We should take care of our health to be strong and happy.
