Find a penfriend

Hello! I'm Adam. I'm sixteen years old and I live in London.

I'm keen on chatting with teenagers around the world using Zalo, Whatsapp or Skype. Please send me a message about yourself and your hobbies. I'm waiting to hear from you!

Sample 1:

My mother is the person I admire most. She devoted a lot of time and energy to the upbringing of my two brothers and I. Despite working hard, she always made time to teach us many useful things which are necessary and important in our later lives. Moreover, she is a good role model for me to follow. She always tries to get on well with people who live next door and help everyone when they are in difficulties, so most of them respect and love her. I admire and look up to my mother because she not only brings me up well but also stands by me and gives some help if necessary. For example, when I encounter some difficulties, she will give me some precious advice to help me solve those problems. She has a major influence on me and I hope that I will inherit some of her traits.  

Sample 2:

This year my grandmother is over seventy years old. She still looks healthy because she keeps the habit of walking every morning. Her face was plump and kind. Her gray-brown eyes were always a gentle, warm glow. Her hair was waist-length, more white than half. My grandmother is also a person who loves her children deeply. I have grown up with the sweet apathy she lulled, with so many wonderful fairy tales she tells. Every night, her skinny, wrinkled hands patted me back to sleep. I really love my grandmother. I wish she was always healthy to live happily with her children and grandchildren.

Sample 3:

I admire my older brother a lot. He's like a superhero to me. He's always there to protect me and make me laugh when I'm feeling down. Even when things get tough, he never gives up. He works really hard to achieve his goals and never complains. What I admire most about him is his kindness. He's always thinking about others and goes out of his way to help people in need. He's my role model, and I hope to be as brave and caring as him one day.

Sample 4:

I admire my grandma a lot. She's always smiling and kind to everyone. Even when things are tough, she stays strong and positive. She helps people whenever she can, giving her time and love freely. What I admire most is her inner strength. She never gives up, no matter what. She's like a rock, always there for us. Her faith and belief in goodness inspire me every day. Being around her makes me feel safe and happy. I'm really lucky to have her in my life.

Sample 5:

I really look up to my teacher, Mrs. Smith. She's always so patient and understanding, and she really cares about her students. Even when we're struggling, she never gives up on us. She goes out of her way to help us learn and grow, and she's always there to offer encouragement and support. What I admire most about her is her passion for teaching. She makes learning fun and interesting, and she inspires us to do our best every day. I feel really lucky to have her as my teacher, and I hope to be like her when I grow up.

Dear Nga,

I am having a wonderful time here! My friends, Hoa, Mai and I are visiting Hai Phong. They are going to take me to Cat Ba National Park because I want to see the wild animals. It's hot and sunny because it's summer. I will see you again in a week. I miss you so much.

Love,
