Dear Kate,
I am happy to tell you about myself. My name is Kelly. I am a student in China. I live in Beijing with my parents, two sisters and a brother. I am 12 years old. I am tall and thin. I am 1.65 metres. I am the tallest girl in my class. My shoes are size 38. My feet are bigger than the other girls̓ in my class. My favourite colour is blue. I don̓t like wearing dresses. I like swimming and playing ping-pong very much. At school, I have a lot of friends. They like to play with me. What about you? Looking forward to your letter soon.
Yours,
Kelly

Thank you for your last letter. Here are some photos of me and my twin brother Liu Ming.

I like badminton, and he likes ping_x0002_pong. He is active, while I̓m quiet. My favou_x0002_rite subject is maths and he likes science best. I heard you would visit us soon. We are excited.We can̓t wait.
Love,
Liu Tao
