A Letter to a Pen Pal

Dear Tom,

Hello! I’m very glad to have a pen pal like you. I’ve been wanting to write to you for a long time.

I live in Beijing, the capital city of China. It’s a very big city with a long history. There are many famous places to visit here, such as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace. I’d love to show you around if you come to Beijing.

I’m a student in a middle school. I study Chinese, English, math, history, geography, biology and so on. My favorite subject is English. I like reading English books and watching English movies. I want to improve my English and learn more about the world.

In my free time, I enjoy playing basketball and listening to music. My favorite singer is Taylor Swift. Do you like her songs?

What about you? Where do you live? What do you study? What do you like to do in your free time? Please write back and tell me more about yourself.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Best wishes,

Li Ming
