Dear Jaka,
Hello Jaka, how are you? It was great to read your letter. Thank you for the present. I like it a
lot.
Right now I live in New York with my parents and brother, Timmy. I’ve told Timmy about
you and it turned out that he wanted to be your pen pal, too. Timmy and I really love playing
hockey. Have you ever played hockey? It’s a fun game. You should try it when you visit New York.
If you want to know Timmy more, you may send him a letter. I’ve enclosed his e-mail
address. Oh, I have to go now. Timmy and I are going to play hockey. I’ll wait for you next letter.

Your new friend,

MARY
