Hi, Kate! I saw your name and address in Penfriend magazine, and I would like to be your penfriend. First, I will tell you some things about myself. My name is Sidney. I'm fourteen years old. I'm about five feet tall. I have short black hair and brown eyes. My hobbies are playing computer games and playing chess.
I live with my parents. They came to England about 30 years ago. They came from Hong Kong, but I have never been there. Now my parents own a Chinese restaurant in Newcastle. We live in a small house near our restaurant. I was born in Newcastle in 1993. I can speak Chinese, but I cannot write it very well. I have a brother called Edwin. He is 23 and works as an architect in London.
I'm in Walker School. It is near my house, so I can walk to school. I like my school because the teachers are friendly. My school has many sports fields. I like sports very much. I enjoy playing rugby and badminton in winter, and tennis in summer. My favourite subject is physics. I want to be an engineer.
I'll send you a photo of myself with my school friends. I am in the middle. I hope you will write to me soon, and tell me all about yourself.
