Middle School School year: 2020/2021

First Term Test

Dear Fred,

Thank you for your letter of November 15th. I’m very happy to know that you want to be
my penfriend. (§1)

Now, I’d like to, tell you something about myself. I’m 15. I’m quite tall and slim for my
age. I’m already 1m70.I’ve got short curly hair and light brown eyes. I’m cheerful .I always tell
funny jokes when I am with my friends. I’m also friendly and I like meeting new people. I’m

s
very helpful and thoughtful of others too. I mean I ‘m not selfish .When people have problems,
I think about them, and I often try to do things to help them.(§2)

m
One of the things I like doing most when I ‘m free is playing tennis. I’m also fond of

xa
basketball, and I’m quite keen on playing handball as well, but I’m not very good at it. I’m very
bad at swimming, too. So I hate going to the seaside or to the swimming pool. (§3)

/e
Could you, please, tell me something about yourself?

om
I look forward to hearing from you again.

Best wishes,
Farid
c
P.S. :Here is a photo of me.
