You have received a letter from your English-speaking pen-friend Tom who writes: …Last week our family went to the famous Niagara Falls. It was my first visit there and it was fun! We enjoyed the weather and the splashes of falling water on our faces. It reminded us of our last rafting trip. Where can you see beautiful water sights in Russia, if at all? Have you ever gone rafting? What do you think about extreme sports in general? By the way, we are going to Greece this summer… Write a letter to Tom.

Dear Tom,

Thanks for your letter. Your trip to Niagara Falls sounds amazing. I’m glad you enjoyed the weather and the splashes of water — it must have been really exciting.

In Russia we also have beautiful water sights. For example, there are impressive waterfalls and wide rivers in the mountains and in the north of the country. I have gone rafting once with my friends on a mountain river. It was a bit scary, but unforgettable. I think extreme sports are great for people who like strong emotions, although they can be risky and require good preparation.

Greece sounds like a wonderful choice for summer. Which city are you going to visit? Are you planning to swim in the sea? Will you visit any historical places there?

Write back soon.

Best wishes,
Alex
