Dear Ryan,
I'm very pleased that we're going to be pen friends. It’s wonderful to have someone with whom I can share my opinions and experiences. In this first letter, I'll write a few words about myself and it would be great if you could do the same when you’ll be writing to me.
I’m sixteen years old. I live with my family in Beverly Hills, a town in the western part of Los Angeles in the USA. My house is situated in the outskirts of the town and it takes a lot of time to get to the town centre by bus. Despite this disadvantage, I like my house very much because it’s spacious. My parents built and decorated it. My father runs his own business and my mother takes care of the house. I also have a sister who lives in Vancouver, Canada. She is preparing her Master in phonetics and phonology.
I am a pet lover and have a dog, a cat, a canary, and two fish. They need a lot of attention. I play with my dog and cat every day. I feed my pets two times a day and walk my dog every evening. Music is my pastime. I am crazy about rock and pop music. My preferred singer is Robin Williams. I have lots of CDs and I regularly listen to them. I also like cycling. Every week-end, I ride my bike with my buddies along the river. I detest staying at home all day.
I go to the 1st General Secondary school in Beverly Hills. I chose a biology class because I am keen on biology and chemistry. I hate history because facts and dates are difficult to memorize. I also go to a music school. I enjoy playing the violin but I don’t mind playing the piano once in a while. At the moment I’m working very hard. A new school year has started and I have a lot of homework to do; books to read, hundreds of new English and French words to memorize, and many papers to write. They take all my time and I can’t bear it. Tell me, do you like homework?
I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon,
Yours Friendly,
Jonathan
