Dear Breta,
Thank you very much for the letter. Yes, I would like to have a pen pal. It’s very exciting! I am also the youngest child. I have a big family. I have two sisters and one brother. We don’t have any pets. We live in a city called Vera Cruz. It is on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. My house is close to the ocean. It only takes me ten minutes to get there on foot. I love to swim and play there. This year, I am learning to use a body board. It’s like surfing but the board is smaller. I lie down on it instead of standing up.
I have never been skiing. In Mexico, there are some high mountains with snow, but there are no ski places. The climate is very warm here all year.
I go to an international school. All of my classes are in both Spanish and English. My father works for a car company. He knows English very well. He always speaks English with me and my mom speaks Spanish.
How about in your family? Where did you learn English? Hope to hear from you soon!
Adios! (This means goodbye in Spanish!)
Maria Lopez

| Dear Laura, I want to tell you something about my busy life of this term. I am in Grade 8 now. I have much more homework than before, so my life is busier. After finishing my homework in the evening, I always play the violin every day. I hardly ever watch TV or play with my phone. In a word, I have too much stress now. I’m quite tired and I think my parents can’t understand me. What should I do? What about your life? May |
