Dear Karina,
My name is Jack and I’m from Canada. I was born in Montreal. My brother is at
school and my sister works for IBM. My father has got a small company which
exports clothes. My mother is a housewife, but she often helps at my father’s
company too when they are busy.

2- I’m twenty-two and I’m studying technology. I’m in my third year at

University. When I finish my University course I’ m going to get a job as an
engineer in an international company.That’s why I need to learn English.

3- In my free time I like playing sport. At weekends, I play basketball for the
University team. I also like travelling very much.

4- Last Summer, I went on holidays to Bulgaria. I went with Tom, my best

friend, and we stayed in a youth hostel in the town centre. The weather was
great so we went walking in the mountains nearly every day. It was fantastic.
Please write soon and send a photo.
Best wishes.
Jack Petterson
