Dear Friends,
I want to tell you about myself. My name is Nick. I am eight. I live in London. It's a beautiful city. I am in the third form now. I go to school five days a week. I like to study very much. We have got a lot of different subjects at school. They are English, Maths, Reading, Writing, Art, Sport, Music and Computer Studies. My favourite subject is Maths, because I am fond of doing sums.
What is your favourite subject? Why do you like it? Do you like to go to school?
Write me soon.
Yours,
Nick
