Hi, Kate! I saw your name and address in Penfriend magazine, and I would like to be your penfriend. First, I will tell you something about myself. My name is Sidney. I’m fourteen years old. I’m about five feet tall. I have short black hair and brown eyes. My hobbies are playing computer games and playing chess.
I live with my parents. They came to England about 30 years ago. They came from Hong Kong, but I have never been there. Now my parents own a Chinese restaurant in Newcastle. We live in a small house near our restaurant. I was born in Newcastle. I can speak Chinese, but I cannot write it very well. I have a brother called Edwin. He is 23 and works as an architect in London.
I’m in Walker School. It is near my house, so I can walk to school. I like my school because the teachers are friendly. My school has many sports fields. I like sports very much. I enjoy playing rugby and badminton in winter, and tennis in summer. My favourite subject is physics. I want to be an engineer.

| Dear Raymond, I have a good friend. Her name is Daphne. I think she is a bit stingy and easy to get angry. When I have some nice snacks or other things, I will share them with her. But she never shares anything with me. And if I gently play jokes on her, she will shout at me. What should I do? Can you help me? Breda |
| Dear Breda, It seems that your friend is a bit difficult to get along with. But there are two things for you to think about it. The first is that you might not know as much about your friend as you think. Do you know what her life is like at home? Her parents might fight with each other often. What do you know about her feelings? She might be upset or worried, and doesn’t know who to turn to for help. Then again, maybe your friend is just difficult to deal with. How important is her friendship to you? Sometimes you just have to know how to choose a good friend. It is not an easy thing to do. But if her friendship is causing more harm than good, then it might be something for you to think about. Raymond |
