Dear Devi,
With this letter I would like to introduce myself to you as a new pen pal. I am eighteen years old
and have just graduated from Ceres high school studies in this country are for four years ,but
before entering high school I studied for eight years in elementary and junior high schools I will
enter the university in a few months to prepare to be a doctor. I hope eventually to specialize in
pediatrics , but other medical specialties interests me too.

My interests, besides my studies are art, music, and sports. I especially enjoy swimming,
horseback riding, and skiing. It does not snow where I live, so when the skiing comes, I have to
travel to the mountains, I have to travel to the mountains about two hours a way by car .

I love pets, and if I did not want to be a “human” doctor so much, I think I would study
veterinary medicine. I have friendly old cat who sleeps all day. My sister Andrea has an
enormous German shepherd dog. Of course, the cat and the dog do not get along at all.

I am enclosing a photograph of myself and my family. I would like to hear from you. Please
write with information about yourself, your family, and life in your country. I look forward to
being your pen pan and sharing some of the events in my life with you, even though it must be at
such a long distance.

Your friend,

Ron
