HAVING A PEN FRIEND
By Jane Cooper

I’ve had an American pen friend since I was twelve years old. So we have been writing to each other for four years. There are many good things about having a pen friend. I think it is important that you write to someone who is the same age as you because then you will probably share some interests. Also, you should remember that if you want to improve your language skills, you should have a pen friend that speaks the language that you are learning. Some people even become good friends with their pen friends and they go to visit them. This is a really special thing as you get to meet their family and see how their life really is. But you shouldn’t think that pen friends are just for young people. People of all ages enjoy writing letters, or even sending emails, so it’s never too late to start.
