It is great to have pen pals. In my opinion, friendship is among the meaningful relations in our life. Many of my friends have pen pals and they correspond regularly. A friend of mine once got a letter from the school mailbox and told me a lot of interesting things about her pen pal. That made me excited and I was eager to have one. Therefore, I got online and did some chatting. I was lucky to get to know a very nice Australian girl. Her name's Jenny. She and I are the same age and we have a lot of things in common.
Although my English was not very good at first, we were able to understand each other quite well. My English has improved a lot. Jenny has never been to Viet Nam. However, she thinks well of our country and our people. When she comes to Viet Nam, I will take her to some interesting places, especially our World Heritage Sites, such as Ha Long Bay, Hoi An Ancient Town, My- Son Tower. Through her mail, she tells me about her country. Thanks to Jenny, I know more and more about Australia. I hope to be an exchange student in Australia some day and we will be able to meet.

Language is a means of communication so each nation has its own language. However some nations have the same language. According to the speakers' use of language, it is called the first, second or foreign language. Among the languages used by most people in the world is English. This does not mean that English is spoken by greater number of speakers than any other languages, for it is easily outnemberred by Chinese in this respect. However, it is the most international of languages because it provides ready access to the world scholarship and world trade. That is the reason why millions of men and women try to master it.
