dear jackie,

thanks for your last letter! on the topic of holidays in russia, i can tell you that christmas is not as popular in russia as it is in britain. instead, we celebrate new year's eve more fervently here.

is it true that you celebrate christmas on december 25th? here we celebrate it on the january 7th. it is traditionally celebrated by religious believers, whereas i heard that in britain people of all faiths and even atheists celebrate christmas too. am i right?

my favourite holiday is new year's eve, as we put up a fir tree and have a big meal on this day and meet up with friends or relatives. other holidays we celebrate include women's day, men's day and victory day. we also celebrate the start of spring for one whole week and we call this time 'maslenitsa'. what do you call the day when you celebrate the beginning of lent by making pancakes? write back soon, sasha

i like to travel. first of all, the members of our family usually have long walks in the country. such walks are called hikes. if we want to see countryside we have to spend a part of our summer holidays on hikes. during such hikes we see a lot of interesting places, sometimes we meet interesting people. it's useful for all members of our family. we take our rucksacks. we don't think about tickets and there is no need to hurry up.

as for me, it's more comfortable to travel by train and by plane. but it's difficult to buy tickets for the plane. that's why we buy our tickets beforehand. when i travel by plane, i don't spend a lot of time going from one place to another. i like to fly. if i travel by train or by plane my friends see me off at the railway station or in the airport.

i like to travel by car. it's interesting too, because you can see many things in a short time. when we go by car, we don't take tickets. we put all things we need in a car. we don't carry then.

sometimes we go to the seaside for a few days. as usual the weather is warm and we can swim. it's a pleasure to watch white ships. so i can say that i enjoy all kinds of travelling very much.
