Dear Superman ,

How are you? I hope you are well.

I am very happy this week. I met a new friend. Her name is Lily. She is kind and helpful.

How about you? Did you meet any new friends? What do you usually do after school?

Please write soon. Take care.

Yours truly,Batman

Dear Mr Bean,

1. I am sorry I haven’t written for a long time. I

have been very busy. I have joined the Youth Club

at our local Community Centre. There are so many

things I can do at the club─ different kinds of sports

and arts and crafts.

2. Every Monday evening I go to one of the martial a

rts classes. There are classes for karate and kung fu. I

am doing karate. I like it better than kung fu. Tony is d

oing kung fu, though he isn’t very good at it!

Body

3. There are also classes in painting and calligraphy.

I have chosen calligraphy. I think it is more interesting

than painting. There are also classes in handicrafts. N

ext year I am going to join one. I will have to decide b

etween pottery and knitting. I will probably do pottery.

It is more difficult than knitting and I don’t want to do s

omething that is easy. I can do that at home.

Body

Is there a Community Centre with a

Youth Club near your home? You are

interested in folk dancing, aren’t you? Where

do you do it in London?

I must stop now. I have to go to my karate

class. I will try to write a longer letter next time. And I

will try to write sooner. You are a better letter-writer

than I am. I feel a little ashamed.

Body

Take care. Please give my best wishes to your family.

Love,

Hello Kitty
