Вам пришло письмо от вашего англоговорящего друга по переписке, Алекса. Он пишет: "Я буду волонтером на уборке пляжа в следующие выходные. Наш местный пляж просто завален мусором! Есть ли сильный волонтерский дух в вашем сообществе? Вы бы предпочли быть волонтером или пожертвовать деньги на благое дело? Если бы вы могли единолично решить одну экологическую проблему нашей планеты, какую бы вы выбрали и почему?" Вам нужно написать письмо-ответ и ответить на его 3 вопроса. Напишите 100-120 слов. Помните правила написания письма.

Ответ:

Dear Alex,

Thanks for your letter! It's great you're doing a beach clean-up. Our local beach can get pretty messy too sometimes.

Yes, there's a good volunteering spirit here. My school often organizes food drives or park clean-ups, so people do participate.

I would definitely rather volunteer my time. It feels more impactful and rewarding to be directly involved, seeing the difference you make, instead of just sending money.

If I could solve one environmental problem, I would choose ocean plastic pollution. It's terrible for marine animals and makes our beaches dirty. Imagine clean oceans again!

Good luck with your clean-up!

Best wishes,
Maria

Дорогой Алекс,

Спасибо за твое письмо! Здорово, что ты участвуешь в уборке пляжа. Наш местный пляж иногда тоже бывает довольно грязным.

Да, здесь есть хороший волонтерский дух. Моя школа часто организует сбор еды или уборку парков, так что люди участвуют.

Я бы определенно предпочла потратить свое время на волонтерство. Чувствуется, что это более значимо и полезно — быть непосредственно вовлеченным, видеть результат своих действий, вместо того чтобы просто отправлять деньги.

Если бы я могла решить одну экологическую проблему, я бы выбрала загрязнение океана пластиком. Это ужасно для морских животных и загрязняет наши пляжи. Представь снова чистые океаны!

Удачи с твоей уборкой!

С наилучшими пожеланиями,
Мария
