London, England
October. 30th, 2017
Dear friend,
1- My name is John. I am 10 years old. I live in London, England. I am in the fifth

intermediate class at school. I was very excited when our teacher told us to write a letter.
I go to Lake School in London, which is a private school. There are 300 students and 30
teachers in this school. We have a big hall room where we gather during the recess time.
The large green fields and orchards behind the school are one of my favorite places
where I often play and run.
2- Boys have to wear white trousers, a white shirt and a black tie. The girls have to
wear white shirts and skirts. While in public schools here, students wear uniforms. We
come to school at 9 a.m. and finish at 2 p.m. from Monday till Friday. We study most of
our lessons in English. I’m also learning French. I enjoy reading French stories to improve
my language skills. Do you have any classes in a foreign language? Also, we study gym,
science and music. What subjects do you study at your school? I hope I will hear from
you soon and then we will become “pen pals”. Tell me about your school and give my
best wishes to your classmates.
Yours sincerely,
John
