Dear penfriend,
My name is Andre. I’m from Seattle, Washington in the USA. I am dark-skinned, and I have black hair. I also have brown eyes. I play every sport except soccer. My preferred sport is football. I like pizza, hot dogs, and chicken. At Mercer Middle School I study grammar, math, social studies and science. Our school has over 900 students. Seattle also is a very big place. We are famous for the Space Needle, our port, Microsoft, Boeing, and Eddie Bauer. I would like to know what a typical day is like for you. Like, when do you get up, what do you do during the day, and what are your likes and dislikes.
I look forward to hearing from you!

Sincerely,
Andre

 


Dear penfriend,
Hi! My name is Joanne. I live in Seattle Washington. I have brown eyes, blackish brown hair and I am 5 feet tall. My hobbies are going shopping at the mall, going out to dinner with my mom, and going to my grandma’s house. Oh yes, I love to play basketball and I’m on a team. My favorite foods are chicken, salad, and peaches. After school I do my homework, play my brother’s Play Station (Do you have video games?), visit my grandma’s, and go places with my mom.
Do you have malls? Here in Seattle, malls are big covered places with hundreds of stores. I meet my friends there sometimes. The mall also has big movie theatres. You can go inside a mall and not know that it is rainy or snowy or sunny outside.
We have 4 seasons: summer, winter, fall, and spring. In summer it’s hot and dry. In winter it rains for days and sometimes snows. In spring it gets warmer (60 degrees F.) and it rains. In fall it’s cool and it rains. The major businesses here are Boeing, Microsoft, and Nintendo America. People are crazy about coffee and bagels here. There are stores for them everywhere! I would like to hear what a typical day is like for you as well as your likes and dislikes.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Joanne
