Dear Mai,
I’m very pleased that we’re going to be pen pals. I’ll tell you a little about
myself, and you can do the same when you write to me.
I live in an area of London called Maida Vale. It’s quite near the centre, but
there are parks nearby where I often take my dog, Mickey, for a walk. I live
with my parents and my younger brother, Paul. My father works for the post
office and my mother has a part-time job as a nurse.
I go to local comprehensive school, where I have a lot of friends. I like most
subjects, but not all of them! In the evening I sometimes visit friends or stay at
home to listen to music, and at the weekend I like going swimming or horse-
riding.
At the moment I’m working very hard because I have exams soon, so I’m
spending a lot of time in the library!
I’m looking forward to hearing from you. Write soon!
Best wishes,
Mary
