Dear PenPal,                  

Hi, my name is Kristen.  I live in Schenectady, N.Y., U.S.A. I am 11 years old and I got to Central Park Middle School. How old are you, and what school do you go to?

            I have lots of hobbies. I like to go swimming, read, and hang out with my friends. I have a mom, dad, and older sister. Do you have any brother or sisters?

            I’ve enjoyed the time writing to you, but I would like to ask you one more question. Do you like to read? I do. My favorite book is Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I hope to hear form you soon.
