             Dear Jennifer,

 

1.     I’m very happy to have a pen friend. My name is Tom. I’m English. I’m a fifteen-year-old pupil. I live in Manchester. I go to a secondary school near my house.

 

2.     At school, I study many subjects like maths, history and sciences. My favourite subject is English. I’m good at languages. I can speak French, German and of course English but I can’t speak Italian and Chinese. My favourite pastimes are listening to music and drawing. I also love to play beach ball with my young brother in summer but I hate volleyball. It is really boring !

 

3.     My father is a doctor at the local hospital and my mother is a teacher in a preparatory school. My brother Paul is five and my sister Angela is seven. They are both pupils. I love them very much because they are quiet and very nice.

 

4.     What about you ? Please write back soon and tell me about yourself and your family.

 

                                                      Yours faithfully,

                                                                                       Tom
