a letter to pen friend

Dear Sheila,
I’m very pleased that we’re going to be penfriends. In this letter I’ll tell you a little
about myself. Please do the same when you write to me.
I live in an area of Bern called Murifeld. It’s not far from the city centre. We can
walk there or go by train. There are woods and a nice river nearby where I take
my dog Floppy for a walk or for a swim.
I live with my parents and my younger brother, Michael. My father is a software
engineer and my mother has a part time job as a secretary.
I go to a secondary school. Our house is opposite the school. Sometimes when I’m
having breakfast I can see my friends going into the classroom. Then my mother
says, "Hurry up, Barbara, you’re late again.“
I like French, English and geography. I’m not good at maths. And some subjects are
really boring. In history the teacher tells us all about the French Revolution. And
then we must learn by heart this old stuff. What use is it?
In the evenings I sometimes visit friends or stay at home and listen to music. At the
weekends I like going swimming or playing golf with my father.
At the moment I’m working very hard on a research paper about carrier pigeons (I
found the word in my dictionary!) These pigeons were used to carry small letters
when there were no SMS and no emails. So I’m spending a lot of time in the library
and interviewing old people and members of the local "Carrier Pigeons Club“.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you. Write soon.
Love
Barbara
