Hi everybody,

My name is Jane. I live in a nice village in the north-east of London. My best friends, Sally and Paula, live there too, but I live on Church Street and they live on Town Square. We’re very happy here.

There aren’t so many places as in London, of course, but we’ve got lots to do. There’s a big community centre where you can do a lot of activities. My mother does yoga twice a week, my brother plays tennis with his friends. My friends and I have drama classes on Friday. In my village there’s a small theater where we can see films. Next to the theatre, there is a big cafeteria. Mr. Smith is the owner and makes delicious sandwiches and pizza. I sometimes have dinner with my family there.

My school isn’t very big, but it’s new and has got a nice playground. There aren’t any bookshops or clothes shops, but there’s a nice library where we can study and borrow books.

In my village there are two supermarkets and a wonderful park. I love jogging and riding my bike at weekends.

Bobbi Brown is a very busy man. He is 60 years old and he has thirteen jobs. He is a postman, a policeman, a fireman, a taxi driver, a school-bus driver, a boatman, an ambulance man, an accountant, a petrol attendant, a barman, and an undertaker. Also, he and his wife, Magaret, have a shop and a small hotel.

Bobbi lives and works on the island of Gigha in the west of Scotland. Only 120 people live on Gigha but in summer 150 tourists come by boat every day.

Every weekday Bobbi gets up at 6.00 and makes breakfast for the hotel guests. At 8.00 he drives the island’s children to school. At 9.00 he collects the post from the boat and delivers it to all the house on the island. He also delivers the beer to the island’s only pub. Then he helps Magaret in the shop.

He says: “Magaret likes being busy, too. We never have holidays and we don’t like watching televison. In the evenings Magaret makes supper and I do the accounts. At 10.00 we have a glass of wine and then we got to bed. Perhaps our life isn’t very exciting, but we like it.”

London is by far the largest city in England and the United Kingdom. 8.63 million people live in London, which is on the River Thames. It is the capital of the United Kingdom. London is the biggest city in middle Europe, and the world's largest financial centre. London was founded by the Romans in AD 43 and called Londinium. The city has a huge network of transport systems. The Victorians built a number of railway systems in the mid-19th century.

There is also the world's first underground railway system, London Underground, which is the main way commuters get into London .There are five airports, though only one is actually in London (the City Airport). Most people in London are British. However, London also has many immigrants. These people come from many different countries. Many people visit London as tourists.

  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
