© [email protected]

Hi Patricia!

Hi Patricia, B
My name's Alex and I'd like to be your e-pen pal.
I got your name and email address from my teacher,
Mr Goodall. He lived in Peru for three years, and he's a good friend of your father's.
So, what would you like to know about me? I'm 15 years old. I live in a small house in Birmingham
with my mum and my two little brothers. They're OK, but they can be annoying sometimes. I go to Ashton High School. I quite like
school, but my teachers always give us too much homework. I usually do it when I get home from school, but I'm not doing that
today - that's because I'm writing to you!
I like listening to music and playing games on the computer. I also like playing the guitar. I play in a band with some of my friends.
I like sport, too. I play basketball and tennis. I'm in the school basketball team. We usually play matches on Sunday mornings.
That's a bit of a problem because I don't really like getting up early at the weekend.
But what about you? I hope you'll want to write to me. There are lots of questions I want to ask you. Things like: what's life like in
Peru? Do you like your school? What's it like? What's the weather like in Lima? Have you got a big family? All that sort of stuff to
help me get to know you. Mr Goodall says you like volleyball, but that's all I know about you.
So please email me. I'd love to have a Peruvian friend.
Best,
Alex

About ten years ago my mum got a job teaching at 1 4 Tick ( / ) the items mentioned in the story.
a university in Thailand. At first she only went for six
months, but she really liked it and agreed to stay
longer, so we all went to live with her. We had a great
time, but last year my parents decided that they
wanted to return to the UK. Because we'd been there
so long, we had loads of things we wanted to take
back with us - all the furniture from our house, in fact.

So Mum and Dad went to a shipping company and

arranged to take everything back in one of those big
containers that you see on ships. The company packed
everything into it: the armchairs and sofas, the TV,
wardrobes, desks, even all the rugs and curtains. Our
whole house was inside that big green metal box.

We flew back to the UK and waited for the container

to arrive. About ten weeks later, we were having
breakfast one morning when a big lorry arrived
outside our house. On the back was a big green
metal box. We were so excited. The men opened the
container and started to take out our things. But they
weren't our things. The container was full of gym
equipment. It was the wrong one. We were so upset.
But the story has a happy ending. The men took the
container and gym equipment away, and about two
months ago our things finally arrived.

 Hi Lucy,
I was really happy to get your text saying that you're coming to visit us at the end
of the month. I'm very excited, and you're going to be here at just the right time!
On the 29th our town is having its special weekend gala. There is one every
year. What's a gala? Well, it's like a party but with sports and other events, too.
There are lots of different activities. We're going to join in, so I hope you're ready
for some fun!
It all starts on Saturday. There's an opening ceremony in the morning, and after
lunch, there are things for kids - like races and games. And at five o'clock there's
a football match - we're playing against a team from another town. Then in the
evening, there's dancing in the town square. A famous DJ is playing the music!
(I can't say who yet - it's secret!)
On Sunday morning there's a charity run - it's about five kilometres. It starts at
the town hall and goes past the school and down the High Street to the park,
where it finishes. And guess what? I'm running in the race! (Would you like to
run, too? I think we can get you in - let me know ASAP, OK?) And on Sunday
afternoon, there's a big street party with games and food. It's going to be great.
The only problem is the weather forecast says it's going to rain, so I'm going to
wear my raincoat.
We're looking forward to seeing you here. Oh, I almost forgot! On Sunday
evening we're having a party at our place for my dad's 50th birthday! We're
going to make it a really special party. Please say you don't have to leave on
Sunday evening!
Anyway, let me know more about your plans. When are you arriving on Friday?
See you soon,
