TEXT: Dear friend,
I've found your address in a magazine. I've always wanted to have an Algerian pen-friend that's why I'm writing to you.
My name's Jenny Smith .I'm English and I'm 15 .I'm a tall slim girl with long fair hair and blue eyes. I live with my parents and my sister in Liverpool, a big town, near the sea.
I go to a public school. I 'm a very clever, calm and hardworking pupil. I 'm mad of history and maths but I 'm not very keen on French and drawing.
I like camping with my friends but only when it's fine. The other days, I like listening to music, taking photos or playing tennis.
I'll send you my photos in my next letter. I hope I'll receive a letter from you soon.

Yours, Jenny
