Expand horizons by making pen-pals

Recently my brother received a letter from his pen-pal. Then I realised that I've never had a pen-pal.

I decided to check out a pen-pal club and eventually found a friend called Vanpo from South Africa. I sent him a letter and I'm waiting for his reply.

Having a pen-pal is beneficial. Not only can we practise English, we can also gain a better understanding of other cultures.

It's hard for us to learn informal writing skills at school. Writing to a foreigner can help boost our language skills.

We should also have a positive view about pen-pals. We should treat them like our friends.
