Dear Tom,
Hope you are doing great. I still remember the pleasant memories we had together during our last trip it was wonderful. I'm writing to let you know that I am going to move to a new house next month. Of course, it is not an easy decision for me, because I love this house very much. However, I need to move out of it because its owner wants to renovate it. I hope you can come to see my new house. There is a big garden in front of it so I can plant many trees and grow flowers. My new house has five rooms, a lawn and two large balconies. The best thing about it is that the area is quiet and surrounded by astonishing natural beauty. After living in a house in a busy area for nearly 8 years, this spacious house seems like a dream. Besides, the new house is built of solid wood, which I really like, because it can help the house keep at a comfortable temperature throughout the entire year.
hope you can visit us soon. I am really looking forward to seeing you. Warm wishes,
Mary

DỊCH: Have you ever wondered what it would be like to see the world (1) from the eyes of a stranger? To see what they think and how life must feel for them? How different or (2) similiar are you? Being a pen pal is essentially just that. Pen pals are sets of people who regularly write to each other, primarily via postal mail or email. They don’t usually have a well-established (3) relationship in person and so are, most of the time, strangers. They share their thoughts and (4) stories with each other and often develop lifelong friendships. For some individuals the fun of having pen pals often lies in the fact that the letters are handwritten, therefore snail mail is their preferred way of communicating, while for others the modernity of (5) emails interaction is a better fit. Regardless of the preferred mode, having a pen pal is super fun and (6) exciting.
