Francis，

Hello！How are you？ It was good to hear from you. Have the flood waters gone down?

The hurricanes (the big winds) have not hit us very hard. We did not have school one day because we thought Hurricane George was going to hit us, but it only rained. We also got rain from Hurricane Mitch. Now the weather is mostly in the 70s　(Fahrenheit). It stays warm in Florida all year long.

I just got back from visiting my sister in Tennessee. I applied for teaching jobs up there because I’d really like to move up there after I graduate in May.

I hope this letter finds you healthy and happy.

Mandy Hamilton

I use the Internet a lot. Usually I check my e-mail three or four times a day. I like e-mail because it help me keep in touch with friends whom I can’t see very often. I also like to do real-time chatting with my friends online. Sometimes I visit a chat room for international friends. Through that chat room, I have made several pen friends. And I can learn and practice my English with them.
