ROBERTO WRITES A LETTER<br />
CHAPTER FIVE<br />
Calle Motatan, Qta. L os tres<br />
Colinas de Bello Monte<br />
Caracas, Venezuela 1041<br />
September 23,1982<br />
Dear Sara,<br />
I am very happy to introduce myself<br />
to you. My name is<br />
Roberto Perez. I live in Caracas, Venezuela. My English teacher<br />
is Sra. Rodriguez. She had your name<br />
on a list of pen pals.<br />
Would you like to be pen pals with me?<br />
We can write letters to<br />
each other every month.<br />
I am fourteen years old. My hobbies are swimming, soccer,<br />
and playing records. My father works in a bank, and my moth-<br />
er is a housewife. I have one sister. Her name is Teresa. I also<br />
have a brother. His name is Alfredo. We are all students in<br />
high school. Our grandparents live with us.<br />
We also have a<br />
dog and two cats.<br />
My city is always very pleasant. The weather is warm all year<br />
long. Our winters are wet and rainy, but they are not cold. I see<br />
that you live in Fairbanks, Alaska. Is your city cold? Do you have<br />
any brothers and<br />
sisters? Are you in high school, too? Do you<br />
have any<br />
hobbies? Please write and tell me<br />
about yourself.<br />
Maybe someday we can visit each other.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
P.S. Here is a picture of my family. I am very tall. My eyes are<br />
brown, and my hair is black. Please send<br />
a picture of yourself.<br />
