Dear Jane,
I'm very pleased that we're going to be pen friends. In this first letter, I'll write a few
words about myself.
My name is Eliza. I’m sixteen years old. I go to the 1st General Secondary school in
Beverly Hills. I chose a biology class because I like biology and chemistry. I hate history
because it’s difficult to memorize facts and dates. I usually go to school by bicycle. When the
school finishes, I always join my friends in the club. There, we spend our free time playing the
piano.
I live with my family in Beverly Hills, a town in the western part of Los Angeles in the
USA. My house is situated in the outskirts of the town and it takes a lot of time to get to the
town centre by bus. My father has his own business and my mother is a housewife. I also have
a sister who is still a student at Gex University.
I am a pet lover. I have a dog, a cat, a canary, and two fish. They need a lot of attention.
Therefore, I regularly feed them. I play with my dog and cat every day.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon,
Best wishes,
Eliza
