Letter from England
Dear Grade 5 Class,
Hi! My name is Izara. I am 9 years old and my favourite things
are watching TV and playing computer. Sometimes I like to help
my Mum tidy up and cook dinner. I get to school by walking with
my Mum. Sometimes my Auntie takes me to school in her car. My
flat isn't that far from the school. It is white and a little
bit big. I have got one budgie at home, a cat (it's at the vets)
and a dog in Madeira. My favourite sports are basketball and football.
Yours Sincerely,
Izara

Dear, Izara,
Hi! My name is Hillary. I am 11 years old and in grade 6. I go
to a small school called Medstead Central School and I take the
bus. I live on a farm near Medstead. I have 2 horses, 2 dogs,
and a Siamese fighting fish named Jessie. The older of our dogs
is named Bobo, the younger one is mine and her name is Kita. I
got her for my 11th birthday. I will be 12 on April 9th. I can't
wait until I get to grade 7, it will be so fun. My best friends
are Jessica and Brittany. Jessica is in the same grade as me and
Brittany is in grade 5. My favorite sports are basketball, baseball
and soccer (football for you). My house is quite large, I have
my own room. I'm the youngest in my family, I have 2 sisters and
one brother. My oldest sister has already graduated from high
school and my other sister is 15. My brother is 17. Now I have
some questions. Is it fun to live in London? I've always wanted
to go to London, Paris and Egypt. You are lucky to live in London.
Yours Sincerely,
Hillary
