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.

People have always dreamed of living forever, and although we all know this will (1) never happen, we still want to live as long as possible. Naturally, there are advantages and disadvantages to a long (2) life.
In the first place, people (3)who live longer can spend more time with their family and friends. Secondly, people who have busy working lives look forward to a long, relaxing time when they can do the things they have never had time for.
(4) On the other hand, there are some serious disadvantages. Firstly, many people become ill and consequently have to (5) spend time in hospital or become dependent (6) on their children and friends. Many of them (7) find this dependence annoying or embarrassing. In addition to this, the (8) older people get, the fewer friends they seem to have because old friends die or become ill and it's often difficult to make new (9) friends
To sum up, it seems that living to a very old age is worthwhile for people who stay healthy (10) enough to remain independent and enjoy life.
