I want to share my hobbies with you. I have a lot of hobbies. My first hobby is watching movies, especially the funny movies. I often go to the cinema with my friends at the weekend. My second hobby is swimming. I like the water very much. So i always go to swimming during the summer vacation, even the winter holiday. I think swimming can make me more stronger and i can have lots of fun. Do you like swimming? My third hobby is listening to music. I really like musics. I will listen to music in my spare time. Music can make me relax and happy. I like pop music, rock music ， Jazz music and so on. What are your hobbies ? What sports do you like best? I want to know more about you.

Dear Kerry,
I'm Annamarie, I am 22 and I live in a small town near Vancouver, but I was born on an Island called Vancouver Island. I looked up your city and I think it is very beautiful. I would love to visit some time. I love swimming as well! I always swim during the summer to stay healthy, but I don't think I could swim outside in the winter because it is too cold. Do you swim outside during the winter? How cold does it get where you live? Does it snow? I also really like music, I enjoy listening to it while I do chores, or while I draw. My favourite music is alternative, and jazz. Right now I really enjoy this singing couple called Alex & Sierra. My hobbies are kick boxing, art, singing, reading, and taking care of my pets. For sports I enjoy kick boxing, swimming, and tennis. I want to learn how to surf as well since I have only gone surfing a couple of times. Wow you have a lot of people living together! Do you like it that way or is it crowded? Sounds fun to me. I live alone while I go to university, but at home I have my mom and dad who are both doctors, and my two older sisters who are twins. Are the two cities that your parents work in far away from each other? What do you want to do when you graduate from school? Do you want to go to University? If so, what do you want to study?
Looking forward to hearing from you again,
Annamarie B.
Dear Annamarie:
I am very happy to receive your reply. I search the internet and I find the pictures of Vancouver Island.Your birth place is really beautiful! I swim outside just during the summer. During winter, I swim in the indoor swimming pool. In my city, the temperature is well.Not too cold and not too hot. At about 30 degrees Celsius in summer,-5~5 degrees Celsius in winter. It seldom snows in the city that I live.But I like the snow very much because I think it is cute and nice.I like snowball fights and make snowmen. So I hope my city can snow more. Wow,you like taking care of your pets. It's so cool!I like pets too. Dogs are my favorite pets.They are cute and interesting.I have a small white dog in my house.I love it vey much.I feed it, run with it, play with it, rest with it.Now, I can't live without it.Yes,my family is big.We live together is very happy.I like this and I don't think this is crowded.We live together, we can communicate with each other, watch tv together,travel together, have lunch together.This kind of life is happy. My parents work place is really far away from each other. It takes about two and a half hours.I want to go to the University after I graduate from high school.I want to learn about the art professional. At last, I hope you can happy every day. I hope I can hearing from you soon.

Dear Kerry,
I also swim inside during the winter! It sounds as if the temperature in your city is very similar to here. In the winter we usually don't get too much snow, although this year there has been more than we usually have. The summer is between 20-30 degrees celsius as well which I love. I miss the summer and am excited for the weather to get warmer soon! I love dogs as well! My dog at home is called Holly, and she is half poodle and half golden retriever. What is your dog's name? That sounds difficult that your parents work so far away from each other, but it seems like you love living with your large family! My family is not as big, at home it is just my parents and my two sisters when they come to visit. We all live on our own now though. That's very interesting that you want to study art, what is your favourite type of art? Will you study in your home or will you travel abroad do you think?
Talk to you soon,
Annamarie
Dear Annamarie:
I think swim is a very cool sport. I practiced swimming every day during last summer holiday. This year I can't swim every day because I need to learn the IELTS. IELTS is very important for me. I hope I can learn a lot and attend a good university. Yes, the temperature is very similar. We also don't get too much snow in every winter. But I still want to have more snow in winter. I like autumn best. The weather is cool, it makes people feel comfortable. Maple leaf is also very beautiful. Wow,you like dogs too! My dog is called pudding. The pudding is a kind of snacks. I like eating it. So I called my dog pudding. Pudding is white and very lovely. I really like living with my large family, I feel very happy and I don't feel lonely. I envy you that you have 2 sisters. I just have a cute and naughty younger brother. I like drawing pictures and painting, especially sketch. I study by myself in my home. I like traveling. But I haven't been traveling for a long time. I want to travel abroad. I want to see different scene and feel different culture. Finally, thank you very much for your reply. Thank you for telling me so much things about you. This is the last time I reply you. I am happy to know you . I hope you will be happy in the future.
Best wishes,
Kerry Chen
