When I was in sixth grade my whole class did a project where we wrote letters to pen-pals from different countries. I got assigned a boy, the same age as me, who lived in the UK. These are my letters to my pen-pal Alexander

Dear Haillie,
Hi! My favorite color is red. I like to listen to lots of music, by mainly classic rock. What's your favorite band? I think it's really cool that you play guitar. Maybe I can learn someday too. I know this isn't very long, sorry! Reply soon!

Dear Alexander,
Hi! How are you? My favorite band is The Beatles. I love the song "Strawberry fields forever". Do you like the Beatles? I hope you can learn guitar because it's really fun! I have to go. Talk to you soon!
Sincerely,
Haillie T.

Hi,
I am good! Yes you can call me Alex. A lot of my friends do. I love The Beatles! Who us your favorite member? I like Paul. My favorite song is "Yellow Submarine". I've never seen anyone write a song title in quotes before, but I like it. It makes it look fancy. Do you watch TV? What's your favorite program? Write back soon!!!
Alex

Hi!,
My favorite member is probably Ringo Starr. Yes I watch TV. My favorite show is WWE wrestling. Do you watch it? I don't know what PS means. I just know it's something you put after a letter or something when you forget to put it in the letter. Hey, did I ever ask you what you look like? I'm so curious. Write back soon!
Haillie
