2. Read the tips for writing a letter. Are there any tips that you think aren’t useful?

1. Be friendly and polite. Begin with a pleasant greeting. However, understand that snail mail letters are usually a bit more formal than e-mails.

2. Tell your new pen pal who you are: your first name and nickname. Include information about your age, gender, occupation, and the country you live in.

3. Write about your family, school, daily activities, travel experiences, animals, and birds in your region; mention your favourite hobbies, holidays, pets, friends, collections, books and, movies you like. Add information about what your country is famous for – local foods? An annual festival? A celebrity citizen? A fine old building? Let your personality show in the choice of words and the descriptions you choose.

4. Share the information about the things that are going on in your life at the moment.

5. Avoid talking about controversial topics – at least at the beginning of your relationship.

6. Take care not to offer too much information as it might scare off your new pen pal. Try to keep the letter short enough to be read in one go.

7. Try not to lie. If you lie and get caught, you can kiss your new friend goodbye.

8. Ask questions of the new friend.

9. End each letter with a note of encouragement for your pen pal to reply. (I look forward to hearing from you soon.)

10. Sign up with something friendly like “Your new friend” or “Yours”. Don’t sign up with “Love”. Remember, it’s only your first letter.

11. Do you know who you are writing to? If you don’t, make sure not to give out any very personal information; it could be a bad person. For safety, you might want to rent a PO box to exchange letters.
