Subject: Friendship by correspondence
Dear Sami,
I found your name and address in a list at www.makingfriends.org, so I quickly
began to type you these few words.
My name is Melinda Griffefth. I am a Polish girl. I’m 18 years old. I am a pupil at
the secondary school. I am tall with long hair and blue eyes.
In Poland, school begins at 8 o’clock except Saturdays and Sundays because
everybody is on weekend. My friends and I often practise tennis and go to the cinema
in weekends, but I never forget my school duties. I always make sure that my
homeworks are done before leaving home.
My family and I live in Warsaw. It is the capital city of Poland. Dad is a carpenter
and my mother is a midwife. She likes her job very much and she is very good at it. I
have two brothers. Ted is 14 years old. He is a pupil too. Patrick is 4 years old. He does
not go to school yet. My mother always takes him to the nursery before she goes to
work.
Finally, this is all I can tell you now. I will tell you more about Poland in my next e-
mail. Please tell me about yourself, your family and life in Algeria.
Sincerely yours,
Melinda
