to make sense, the capital of Egypt, out of date, a friend from abroad, much pocket money

Dear Bob,

I'm writing to ask if you'd like to be my friend. My name is Alisha. I live in Cairo, .

I suppose that my family isn't very rich. We don't have many possessions. Our television is, and I don't get. But I don't mind, as we're very close family. I have an excellent relationship with my mother and father, so I'm happy.

My teacher suggested that I should get to help improve my English. This idea seems. I hope you'll write back soon.

Best Wishes,

Alisha
