Dear Mandy,

　　Hello．I ask for a pen pal in Canada．I hope you would like to be my pen-friend．

　　My name is Jiang Fan．I'm a girl．I'm 14 years old．I have a lot of hobbies：reading books, playing computer, growing flowers, going shopping, swimming…I'm a student in BaoDai Experimental Primary School．Our school is very beautiful．There is a little garden in our school．In the little garden, there is a small lake．Its name is Jingji Lake．Around the lake, there are a lot of flowers and trees．After lunch, we often play in the little garden．The little garden is our paradise．I live in Suzhou．It's a water city, the Oriental Venice．Suzhou is not a big city．But there is a lot of water and many canals．Do you know Suzhou's landscape gardens? They're very famous; the 28th World Heritage Conference was convened in Suzhou．Maybe you can come to Suzhou, and play with me．

　　I have a happy family．It's small：my father, my mother and I．My father was a navy．And he is a director of a factory now．He is working hard．He usually comes home at ten o'clock in the evening．My mother is a teacher of university．She teaches computer studies．She can cook delicious food．I love her．I will go to the middle school soon．I'm very busy now．I hope I can go to a good middle school．

　　I have not been to Canada．But I think I will go there soon．I will study hard．I think that live to learn, not learn to live：and to learn is to try to live better．I wish to conclude with a poem as follows．

　　No life is destined to be dark

　　If you fire it with spark of devotion

　　Success will not be the star hanging on the sky

　　Beautiful dream is not so difficult to true

　　Even though the road is long and mountain is high

　　We must forge ahead

　　As tomorrow is longer than yesterday!

Yours,

Jiang Fan
