1. You have received a letter from your new English-speaking pen friend Dave.
Hereford
England

September, 15

Dear … ,

Thanks for your letter. I’m glad to be your pen friend.
I’m fourteen and I live in the city called Hereford. It’s in England, and it’s a great place. Maybe you can

find it on the map.
I go to a big school. It has nearly 1,000 students but the classes aren’t very big. There are twenty people

in mine. I study nine subjects. My favourite subject is Geography. I like languages, too. I study French and
German but I don’t study Spanish – sorry!

There are some leisure facilities at my school. I never go to the drama club because I don’t like it, but I
often go to the swimming pool. It’s an amazing place and we always have a good time there. We’ve also got

a really good concert hall at our school and I often go to concerts there.
I’m into music, especially heavy metal and rock. I can’t play a musical instrument but I can sing.
By the way, what’s your favourite school subject? What leisure facilities are there at your school?

Have you got a swimming pool there? Please tell me about your hobby and interests.
I can’t write any more as I have to walk my dog. Please write back soon!

Best wishes,
Dave
