Dear Rachael,

Thank you for your letter of December 10th. I am very happy to know that you want to be my

pen friend. Now, I would like to tell you something about myself. I am 15 . I am quite tall and

slim for my age. I have got short curly hair and light brown eyes. I am cheerful. I always tell

funny jokes and I am with my friends. I am also friendly and sociable. I like meeting new

people. I am very helpful and thoughtful of others too. I mean I am not selfish. When people

have problems, I think about them, and i often try to do things to help them. One of the things

I like doing most when I am free is playing tennis. I am also fond of basketball, and I am quiet

keen on playing handball. I am vey bad at swimming ;too. So, I hate going to the seaside or the

swimming pool.

Could you please, tell me something about yourself ?

I look forward to hearing from you again.

Best wishes

Farid

 The Second Exam of English

People today, have more leisure time than before. They no longer work very long hours as

grandparents. Since my grandparents were farmers, they had to work in the rice field all day

long even without resting at weekend. In contrast, many people today, including my parents,

simply work from nine to five on weekdays and take weekends off. They therefore, have much

free time than grandparents. So, they can spend more time on leisure activities . they go to

the gym, they go to the movies, or make trips, all these activities have positive effects on the

quality of life.

This of course, the result of technological and scientific development and the extra

leisure time available.These factors will make our lives even much more comfortable in the

future.
