Dear Diana,
I am glad to correspond with you. My name is Alice parker. I am from London but
I reside with my grandmother in Manchester.
I am a pretty teenager of medium height with a fair complexion. I study at King
Charles school. Every morning, I go to school on foot because it is not far from home.
But I dont go alone. Sally, our neighbor, accompanies me. She is my classmate. At 12
oclock, Sally and I dont go back home. We generally have lunch in the school canteen.
They serve good meals there. After school I usually go to the youth club where I play
Chess. How about you?
Please answer soon and tell me about you and your family.
Yours faithfully,
Alice.
