February 6, 2011Dear Pen Friend,My name is Stephen. I am 11. I live in London with my Mum, Dad,

sister Ann and brother Tom. We are a typical English family. We are a caring and loving family and we like to do things together.

My parents are kind and loving. My dad likes sport and he is very athletic. My mum is sociable and creative.

My sister is serious and understanding and we always get along well, but my brother sometimes is very naughty.

What is your family like? Do you have any brothers or sisters? Do you get along well?

Please write back Best wishes, Stephen Stuart

A happy family consists of …It is …Mum and dad are …Children are …They …

A conclusion.
