MAtthew’S Letter to A penfrienD

Dear >>>>>>>>>>>,

On schooldays, I get up at seven o’clock. I always eat pancakes for breakfast. In

summer Ben and I cycle to school, but in winter we take the school bus.

My name’s Matthew, and I’m sixteen. I live with my parents and my younger
brother, Ben, he’s nine.

In the evening, my mum does the cooking. Ben tries to help. After dinner, I
watch TV for an hour, then I write some emails and do my homework. Ben isn’t
good at maths, so I often help him with his homework. I’m usually tired when I
go to bed at 11.00.

After school on other days, my friend James sometimes comes to my house and
we play computer games. He doesn’t have a computer. Do you play computer
games? Which games do you like?

School starts at 8.30 and ends at three o’clock. I’m in the Vancouver youth ice
hockey team and we practise after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We don’t
practise at the weekends.

7 things that Matthew does 7 facts
