Henri

I'm fifteen years old and I live in France. I think it’s important to talk to your family. If you don't tell them what you think or how you feel, how can they know? I've got three brothers and they're great. They're all clever and fun to be with. Sometimes, of course, they annoy me and then we shout at each other. That's usually because they want to watch sport on TV and I don't!

Tam

I'm fourteen and I'm from Thailand. I don't have any brothers or sisters, so I spend a lot of time with my parents. I suppose my life at home is quite serious because of that. We get on well and they always listen to me and give me advice. I'm not lonely because I've got lots of friends too. I go to their houses all the time. I like them because they make me laugh.

Oscar

I'm thirteen and I'm English. I've got one brother - James. He's a lot older than me, but it isn’t a problem because we have a lot in common, We both love basketball and we go to matches together.

Subject: Holiday

Hello Luke!
How's your summer? Have you been on holiday ? We're in Italy the moment. We're staying on a campsite. Luckily the weather’s fantastic! I'm sitting in the sun at the moment because I've just had lunch, Italian food is delicious! Yesterday we drove a lake in the mountains. We swam and then we had a picnic. While we eating, we saw some amazing wildlife. Tomorrow we're going to sailing. I've never been sailing before so I can’t .
Bye!
