Dear Jane,
Hi. How are you? I hope you are well. Sorry it’s been so long since I’ve written, but as you know I’ve been busy moving house.
Well, I love my new house and neighbourhood! The neighbours are fantastic and I’ve made friends with some of them already. A young woman called Kate lives next door. She waters my plants for me while I was away last weekend. She also walks my dog for me from time to time, too. I really like her a lot and we often go out to the cinema or for a coffee together. Mrs Green who lives across the road is really nice. She watches my house in the evenings when I’m out and in return I do a bit of shopping for her or some other small errands. It’s completely different from where I used to live, where the kids next door would drop litter on the street and play loud music late at night. No one was friendly there. My old neighbours would peep at me from behind their curtains. If I had known how much better things could be, I would have moved house a lot sooner!
I really love it here. I’m so glad I moved. How are things with you? Write back soon and tell me all your news. Perhaps you can come for a visit some time.
Love,
Paula

Перевод письма:

Дорогая Джейн!
Привет! Как ты? Надеюсь, у тебя всё хорошо. Прости, что я так давно не писала, но, как ты знаешь, я была занята переездом.
Мне очень нравится мой новый дом и район! Соседи замечательные, и я уже подружилась с некоторыми из них. По соседству живёт молодая женщина по имени Кейт. Она поливала мои растения, пока меня не было в прошлые выходные. Ещё она время от времени выгуливает мою собаку. Она мне очень нравится, и мы часто ходим вместе в кино или выпить кофе. Миссис Грин, которая живёт через дорогу, очень милая. По вечерам, когда меня нет дома, она присматривает за моим домом, а я в ответ иногда покупаю для неё продукты или выполняю другие небольшие поручения. Здесь всё совсем не так, как там, где я жила раньше: дети по соседству там бросали мусор на улице и поздно ночью громко включали музыку. Там никто не был дружелюбным. Мои прежние соседи подглядывали за мной из-за своих занавесок. Если бы я знала, насколько здесь будет лучше, то переехала бы гораздо раньше!
Мне здесь очень нравится. Я так рада, что переехала. Как у тебя дела? Напиши поскорее и расскажи все новости. Может быть, ты как-нибудь приедешь в гости.
С любовью,
Пола
