Hi, Kevin!
Thanks for your email. How are you? I’m doing my homework.
All the family are here and are busy too. Mum’s in the garden. She’s planting flowers. Dad’s writing emails. My little sister, Marina, is washing our dog. My brother, Max, is playing games with his friends.
What are you doing? Any plans for Sunday? Write back soon.
Love,
Olga.
Привет, Кевин!
за твое электронное письмо. Как ты? Я делаю свою домашнюю работу.
Вся семья здесь и все тоже заняты. Мама в саду. Она сажает цветы. Папа пишет электронные письма. Моя младшая сестра Марина моет нашу собаку. Мой брат Макс играет со своими друзьями в игры.
Что делаешь? Какие планы на воскресенье? Напиши поскорей.
Люблю,

Today I was with friends on a day trip, we went out of town to celebrate my best friend's birthday. Everything was fine, we set the table, fried kebabs and music played loudly. Evening comes when it's time for everyone to sit down at the table. After 10 minutes, a strong thunder starts and a downpour started, we all went into the house and decided to wait until it rained inside. But after a short time, lightning struck in the place from where the electricity was coming and light was knocked out throughout the town. So it was dark and there was no light. The birthday was ruined by a thunderstorm.
