An informal letter describing a new friend

Dear Mum and Dad,

Thanks very much for your letter. I'm having a wonderful time here at Aunty Cath's, as I'm not as lonely as I was last year.

I met the girl who lives next door last week. Her name is Martha and she's also twelve, just like me. She is quite tall and has long, curly, blonde hair and big blue eyes. She even dresses like me as she loves wearing shorts and T-shirts.

Martha is great fun to be with. She loves swimming and she's quite good at climbing trees as well. However, she doesn't really like listening to rock music like I do, which is a shame. On theother hand she enjoys playing tennis, so we play together every afternoon.

I have to go now. Hope you are OK. I will write again soon.

Love,

Jill
