Hello Oleg,

You know, I            (захоплююсь) sports and I go in for football. I am in the Ukrainian      (команда). Last month our team won the first prize. The match            (відбувся) in Kyiv. We were in competition with the football team from               (Великобританія). Their team is very popular with English football      (фанати). The English footballers      (програли) the game, but they are good players               (на мою думку). They are young, strong and       (хоробрі). They invited us to visit London, their        (рідне) city. Our team is going to visit England in two months. It's fantastic! We'll get to London          (літаком). The tickets are very           (дорогі), but it's              (найшвидший) way of travelling. I can't be certain, but I think it will take us about three hours to get to England. The plane             (прибуде) at Heathrow Airport. We'll stay at a             (комфортабельний) hotel, and we are going to see some                    (визначні місця). Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament, the Tower of London, Trafalgar Square, the British Museum are very popular with          (туристи) from different countries. And of course, we are going to walk about Hyde Park. As for me, I'm a great cricket fan. And I want          (подивитись) a cricket match at the stadium very much. It's a pity, but I don't watch this game on TV            (дуже часто), because I am always short of time. This is a        (літній) game. There are eleven men in a team. The game usually lasts about some hours. But in spite of this I don't consider it is        (нудний). It's an interesting game in my opinion. I'm sure, our travelling will be               (незабутній). Your pen-friend, Alex
