You have 30 minutes to do this task. You have received a letter from your English-speaking pen friend, Ann. …Oh, my friend is so charming! Everybody in the class is ready to help her. But, you know, I sometimes think she’s just using people to get what she wants… …What kind of person is your best friend? When and where did you meet? How do you spend time together?… Write her a letter and answer her 3 questions. Write 100–120 words. Remember the rules of letter writing.

Dear Ann,

Thanks for your letter. It was great to hear from you! I understand what you think about your new friend. I believe a good person should be kind and honest, not just charming.

My best friend is Kate. She is a very friendly, cheerful and reliable person. We met five years ago at school when we became classmates. Since then, we have spent a lot of time together. We usually do our homework, go for walks, listen to music and watch films together. I can always talk to Kate about my problems because she is a good listener.

Write back soon!

Best wishes,
[Your name]
