  Dear Mai,

I’m very pleased that we’re going to be pen pals. I’ll tell you a little about myself, and you can do the same when you write to me.

I live in an area of London called Maida Vale. It’s quite near the centre, but there are parks nearby where I often take my dog, Mickey, for a walk. I live with my parents and my younger brother, Paul. My father works for the post office and my mother has a part-time job as a nurse.

I go to the local comprehensive school, where I have a lot of friends. I like most subjects, but not all of them! In the evening I sometimes visit friends or stay at home and listen to music, and at the weekends I like going swimming or horse-riding.

At the moment I’m working very hard because I have exams soon, so I’m spending a lot of time in the library.

  I’m looking forward to hearing from you. Write soon!

  Best wishes,

  Mary

What are her hobbies? → _______________.

Dear lan.

Thanks a lot to for letter. Sorry i haven't answered before. I've been very busy to get ready ro go to Ho Chi Minh City. I was really sorry hearing you about your trouble with Lan, especially because it's been going on for so long. You ought to try making a decision soon. I think it's bad for both of you to go on as this. I think perhaps it will be better if you separated, but of course i might be wrong. I don't know Lan very well. You know, if i were you, i would go away alone dor a couple of weeks. If you were on yourself, you could think things out calm and decide what to do. Why don't you taking a holiday now? I'm sure it would do you a lot of goods. Write again soon and let me know how things are going. And don't forget to kiss your daughter, An for me. I hope everything would be OK for you

I'm looking for to your news
