Dear Chris,

Thanks very much for your letter asking me to write to you. I like writing letters and I have already
got a pen friend, Harry, in Canada and one in Finland, called Anya. I’m going to Finland for a
holiday next summer and I’m going to stay with Anya in Helsinki. We’ve written to each other for
four years but we’ve never met.

Like you, I’m fifteen years old. I’ve got two younger brothers. They’re twins and they’re nine years
old. We usually get on well but sometimes they really annoy me. My father works in a bank and my
mother is a housewife. My grandmother also lives with us. We have an old house with a big garden.
Please tell me something about your family and where you live.

I go to high school in the next town. It is a large, modern school. Lessons start at 8.30 a.m. and
finish at 3.30 p.m. My favourite subjects are Geography and Maths. I hate Biology! We’ve got
exams next month and I’m not looking forward to them! I belong to the school drama club. We
meet on Fridays after school. What is your school like? What are you favourite school subjects?

In my free time I go sailing. My father has a small yacht and we often spend the weekend on the
boat. I also like swimming and watching horror films. What are you hobbies?

Well, that’s enough for now. Please write soon.

Love from

Kim
