I have made a pen-friend on the Pen Friend Magazine these days. He wrote to me a few days ago, and I was happy to receive his letter. Here is the letter.
April 4th, 2014
Dear Peter,
I read your information on the magazine. I am very glad to be your pen-friend. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Tom. I am ten years old. I am attending an elementary school in Pudong District of Shanghai. I am tall and thin. I have lots of favorite hobbies, such as painting, swimming, and singing. What's your hobby? I have no sister or brother. What about you? I enclose photos of myself and my school with the letter. I hope you will like them. I am looking forward to meeting you face to face some day. I also hope we will be close friends in the future. Please write back to me.
Yours faithfully,
Tom

笔友来信
最近我在《笔友杂志》上交了一个笔友。他几天前写了封信给我，我收到他的来信非常高兴。信的内容如下。
亲爱的彼得：
