Dear Addie,
Greetings from New Jersey,how is New Zealand? Tm very excited to have you as my pen pal. I guess it’s my turn to tell you about myself.
First off,I live with my parents,two sisters,and our pet dog Brighty. Our town is called Whippangong. It is only about half an hour away from New York City. My oldest sister,Ingrid,just turned 17,and that means she now has a drive’s license. She drives us to the mall. Is there a mall near your home in Te Awamutu? My other sister is 11 and her name is Lucy. I guess I would say that she is my best friend. We still fight,though. She rides horses and takes lessons every Saturday morning. I have to go with her sometimes,and that is truly the most boring thing in the world. Do you like horses?
I take tap dancing classes. I like to practice in the food store. The sound of my feet stepping on the hard Hoors echoes (发出回声) . I play soccer in fall; I'm on the swim team during summer. I like swimming,but I am really looking forward to diving this year. Next year I will start music lessons in school. I think I am going to play the piano.
Our house has eight rooms and a small backyard where every year we try to grow vegetables. We mostly get zucchini because the rabbits eat anything else. I guess rabbits don't like zucchini. I have a bike and mum allows me to ride up and down our street,but nowhere else. I hope that I will get to ride it to school someday. Right now I ride the crowed and yucky bus.
Well,that is enough about me for now. I look forward to hearing from you again soon. I hope your surfing lessons went well. And I hope your mum does let you learn to play the drums.
Write soon.
Love,
Jessica
