Dear John,

I am writing you, because I would like to introduce myself. My name is Susan and I am fourteen years old and live in Germany. 

My hobbies are going to the disco and sometimes listening to music on the radio. In July I like to go sunbathing at the lake.
I haven't got any brothers or sisters. When I go to school I take the bus together with my classmates. I am in the ninth year at my school. This Friday is my birthday! I would really like to get a new guitar.

I am looking forward to receiving an email from you.

Kind regards,

Susan
