Letter to Ben

Dear Ben,

I am very happy to become your new pen-pan. I

was very excited to receive your first letter with

"enclose photos a couple of days ago. I hope that

can learn a lot from each others as our lives

seem to be many different. I wonder if we would

be able to adapt each other's homes if we had

to. Your very large and is surrounded by snow.

Mine is very small and it's usual very hot here. I

live very near my school and I can get there by

foot. You have to travel mile by bus everyday.

Don't you find it tiring and sometimes rather

danger with all that snow about? I afraid I have

never tried sking or ice hockey, but I like to relax

in front of TV and cartoon. I can't say my

favourable food is pizza. I am like hamburgers

but mainly I am a noodle. My father is taxi-driver

and often has to work at My mum works an

office. It's just a small company, she do all sorts

of job.
