Question

Hi, Tommy,

Guess what ? I got an “A” on my English test. I always get good grades in English now and I’m sure this is because I often write letters to you in English. Most students in my class don’t use English outside of the classroom or in their homework. It’s a foreign language for them. For me, it is a second language, because I read a lot in English and I write letters to you in English, too.

The weather is very cold here but I love snow. There is also a lake near my home. I often skate on the lake in winter because it freezes in winter and the ice is thick enough to skate on.

It was my birthday last week and I had a party with my friends. But I was sad that you weren’t there.

It’s great to have a pen friend like you. Do you think we will meet in the future? If you come to France to visit me , my parents will really like it and you can stay with us, and also we will have a great time because I will show you all interesting places in Pairs. The best time to come is in spring. The weather isn’t too hot or too cold then. Do you have any vacations in spring? Would Easter be a good time for you to come?

Please write soon, I am looking forward to your coming quickly.

Best wishes,

Jean Colin
