While you read
Would you like to be Anna's penfriend Why or why not
I would like to be her penfriend because both of us can speak English and I can communicate with her in English. What's more, she is a girl from Germany. I am interested in this country and I also want to learn more about its culture. I plan to go there to further my study when I grow up. So I would like to be her penfriend.
I don't want to be her penfriend
because I hate sports. I am a quiet
girl and I prefer staying at home to
going outside . Of course , I am poor
at sports.800-metre race is my
nightmare. Anna likes sports. Maybe
she is outgoing. We're quite different
from each other. We probably don't
have much to talk about.
