Dear Wendy,

It was a pleasure to get a letter from you. I liked your story about the summer club and your new friends and adventures. You asked me about the most popular holidays in my family. So I’ll try to answer your question.

I think that in Russian families the most popular holidays are New Year and the birthdays of the members of the family. But there is a special holiday in our family, which I want to tell you about. It’s Victory Day. My great-grandfather fought for our country in the Great Patriotic War! That’s what we call World War II. He was a doctor. He was in Berlin in 1945. He didn’t like to speak about war, but he often remembered his friends and his hospital.

On 9th of May, we watch the military parade on TV. When my great-grandfather was alive, we went to the square in front of the Bolshoi Theatre or to Victory Park to meet the veterans. There were always a lot of flowers, smiles and tears.

My great-grandpa died two years ago. But, every Victory Day, my father and I go to Victory Park and put flowers on the monument to the heroes. In the evening we watch the firework display in honour of my great-grandpa and his friends. I’m proud of my great-grandpa and I want to be a doctor, too.

Well, I think I have answered your question. Now you know that Victory Day is not only a great holiday for all Russian people, but also for my family.

And what are the most popular holidays in your family? Which holiday do you like most of all? How do you spend them?

Перевод письма:

Дорогая Венди!

Мне было очень приятно получить от тебя письмо. Мне понравился твой рассказ о летнем клубе, новых друзьях и приключениях. Ты спросила меня о самых популярных праздниках в моей семье. Поэтому я постараюсь ответить на твой вопрос.

Я думаю, что в российских семьях самые популярные праздники — это Новый год и дни рождения членов семьи. Но в нашей семье есть особенный праздник, о котором я хочу тебе рассказать. Это День Победы. Мой прадедушка сражался за нашу страну в Великой Отечественной войне! Так мы называем Вторую мировую войну. Он был врачом. В 1945 году он был в Берлине. Он не любил говорить о войне, но часто вспоминал своих друзей и свой госпиталь.

9 мая мы смотрим по телевизору военный парад. Когда мой прадедушка был жив, мы ходили на площадь перед Большим театром или в Парк Победы, чтобы встретиться с ветеранами. Там всегда было много цветов, улыбок и слёз.

Мой прадедушка умер два года назад. Но каждый День Победы мы с отцом ходим в Парк Победы и возлагаем цветы к памятнику героям. Вечером мы смотрим праздничный салют в честь моего прадедушки и его друзей. Я горжусь прадедушкой и тоже хочу стать врачом.

Что ж, думаю, я ответил на твой вопрос. Теперь ты знаешь, что День Победы — большой праздник не только для всех жителей России, но и для моей семьи.

А какие праздники самые популярные в твоей семье? Какой праздник тебе нравится больше всего? Как вы их отмечаете?

Пожалуйста, напиши поскорее.

С наилучшими пожеланиями,
Максим
