Dear Sara
I was very happy to receive your nice message. Thank you very much. You said that you found my name in a list of penpals. I am really interested in South America, so I would really like to be your keypal
I am fifteen years old. I am not as tall as you. I have brown straight hair and green eyes. My family is different from yours. I do not have a large family. I live with my mother here in fairbanks. She works for a TV station. My father died ten years ago. I do not have any brothers and sisters. My grand parents live in Miamy, Florida. We do not see each other very often
I go to school everyday from 8 am to 4 pm. I am a student, but I study languages. I learn Spanish and French in high school I sometimes have lunch there. At 4, when it is sunny, I take my bike and go to the park. The weather in Alaska is extremely cold. When it is cloudy, I watch TV, read books or play cards, I also play tennis every Saturday. In winter, I go skiing in France or Italy. In my next message I will send you a map and a newspaper story about Alaska
I hope to hear from you soon
Yours sincerely
Robert Austin
