Dear friend,

My name is Charles. I am 13 years old. I live in a province. I go to a secondary school. My school is new. It is not the best thing in the world but I like it. I take English, Science, History, Geography, Maths, Literature and other subjects. But my favourite ones are Computing and Physics. They are interesting. I think it’s exciting to know something new every day. I always try to be ready for class every day and come to school on time.

After school I enjoy listening to music and walking in the street. Someday I go to sport club and play tennis. It is on Sundays. I like it very much it is cool. And you? Where do you live? Is your school big or small? Do you like your school? What is your number one subject? What do you like to do after school?

Best wishes,

Charles.

2. Reading: Bradley Pitt

William Bradley Pitt was born on 18th December, 1963, in Shawnee, Oklahoma (USA). He had a happy childhood and school life, and he went to the University of Missouri to study journalism and advertising. At university he started acting and in 1987 he left before he took his degree. He went to Hollywood.  Life in Hollywood wasn’t easy. At first he couldn’t find any acting jobs, but by 1989 he started getting small TV and film roles. Then nine years ago, in 1991, he got his first main role as a DJ in the film Thelma and Louise. He was on screen for only 14 minutes but a lot of people noticed him and he started to get bigger roles in films, such as Louise in Interview with the Vampire.

Brad Pitt is now one of Hollywood’s most successful actors. His name almost certainly means a film is going to make a lot of money, but at the moment, he is interested in making more serious films, such as Seven years in Tibet.
