    Dear Wendy,

    As soon as I saw your name on the Internet, I noticed that you are from Australia, I felt strongly
    interested to write you this email in order to exchange information about each other.

    My name is Alan, I am British and I am 17 years old. I am a secondary school student. This year, I have
    an important exam to take. I live with my family in the central part of London, not very far from Hyde
    Park where I often do some jogging with my schoolmates. I have two sisters and a brother and I am
    the eldest. My father is a farmer and he is very successful in his job while my mother is a teacher.

    During the week, I am very busy with my studies, so I always prepare my schoolwork and do my
    exercises. I rarely go out but when I have a free time, I sometimes join friends to play tennis. In
    future, I want to be a doctor.

    I am interested in discovering foreign countries and Learn about their people and their customs.
    Next time, let me know more about your country and make me dream about its wonderful aspect
    and its splendid nature.

    I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

    Yours faithfully

    Alan
