Dear Peter,

     I’m writing to ask whether you are able to give me a favor．I want to have a pen pal, especially

a girl in her early twenty, and with interests similar to mine．In my mind, she was someone who is

interested in travelling and swimming．Beside, it would be better for her to have a pet dog as I have

kept one at home for some times．

With such a pen pal, I think I can share with him our travelling experiences, the way in that

we take care of pets, or whatever we have in common．But I believe I will improve my English

doing so and learn more about her country．

I look forward to hear from you．

Best regards,

Yours Li Hua
