(2023·江西省贵溪市实验中学高三摸底考试)Barbara Finch began to write to Elizabeth Martin 70 years ago. And they have been pen friends ever since then.
“70 years is a long time and such a lot has happened,” says Barbara. “I have lost my husband and my son, and she has lost her husband and her daughter. With things like that, her friendship means a lot to me.”
The two started writing letters to each other in November 70 years ago. At that time, Barbara was a 14yearold pupil. In her school, there were some students from New Zealand. Among many pen friends, Barbara and Elizabeth were the only pair to form a long friendship.
Technology has made a big difference to how the pair communicates now. Instead of writing, they continue to send emails to tell each other about their daily lives every week. “We email to each other instead of writing letters now mainly because it's quicker and there is no cost,” says Barbara.
Barbara and Elizabeth not only write to each other, but they also meet face to face. Barbara goes from England to visit Elizabeth when she has time. They have visited each other 15 times. “Her family has become a second family to me. She says I'm the sister she never had,” Barbara says.
