Hello, Jane
My name is Amnuay and I’m from Bangkok, that’s in Thailand. I’m 14 years old and I have a younger sister. She’s 11.
I go to school at Khemkhaeng Vejakur it’s a small school. I have classes from 7 o’clock to 3:30 in the afternoon, so I always have lunch with my friends at the school cafeteria. Today, for example, we had pork curry with rice, one of my favorite dishes. Do you know curry? It’s a kind of hot spice. After school I like to play basketball with my friends. And I like comic books, Korean music and other languages.
So what about you? Write soon and tell me what you like to do and something about your country too! You see, my dad has a pen pal.
They’ve written to each other for years, so I hope we can be pen pals for a long time too!! Ah, I can teach you to speak some Thai if you like.

( ) Jane wrote to Amnuay to introduce herself and describe her life a little.
Dear Pedro,
My name is Mary Ann Silversmith. Mary is my first name, Ann is my middle name, and Silversmith is my last name. My first name is Mary because my parents like it. My middle name is Ann because it is my grandmother’s name.
And my last name is Silversmith because that’s my dad’s family name. I’m from Blue Falls, Iowa. It is a small town, but I love it here. I live in a house with a kitchen, a living room, four bedrooms and a storage room. Our garden is also very nice.
My family is not very big. My dad’s name is Alfred and my mom is Silvia. I have an older brother, Max, and he’s 18. I also have a little sister, Britney: she’s 4 and very cute! And I have a dog too: his name is Napoleon.
Next Thursday we have a nice holiday, it’s Thanksgiving. For this holiday we get together with all family members and eat delicious food. Then next month we have Christmas, on December 25th. For Christmas the whole family gets together to celebrate Christ’s birth. Christmas is my favorite holiday because we put up a Christmas tree, and we open the gifts.
I do lots of stuff in my free time. I play soccer in the school team. I like to hang out with my friends, to watch television and play video game. What about you? What do you like to do? I’m really excited about having a pen pal in Brazil. I hope you’ll write soon.
Sincerely,
Mary Ann
O feriado de Thanksgiving é um dos mais populares dos Estados Unidos e é celebrado na quarta quinta-feira de novembro, como forma de relembrar, simbolicamente, o agradecimento dos primeiros colonos estadunidenses pelas boas colheitas.
