The first step is saying “Hello” or “How do you do?”. In this step, you and your new friend say hello to each other (互相) and tell each other your names.

The second step is talking. You can talk about your ages, your families, your favorites or other things.

The third step is leave-talking. In this step, you can tell your new friend that you are happy to talk to him or her. Before you say goodbye to each other, you can also say “Can we be pen friends?” or “Would you like to be my pen friend?”

We have four classes in the morning and two in the afternoon. After school, we play volleyball for about half an hour and then go to the library. We love reading stories. We love school. And we love our teachers and classmates.
