Dear friends, I went to the wave pool and I almost drowned. My friends saved me. My friends and me and my mom ate popcorn and candy too. Me and my friends and my mom went to the other pool and when the waves turned on we went back. Me and my friend almost crossed the line. What have you done lately? Your friend in the USA, David

Dear Friends, Thank you for your letter. I live in Zambia but I am Swedish. On my holiday I biked in Sweden. I like to be in Sweden because I have friends there. We like to swim in the lakes and ride our bikes. In Zambia I like to play soccer. We always play soccer at recess. I like to eat pancakes and syrup. What do you like to eat? Your friend in Zambia, Hampus

Dear friends, I am 8 and I like it here. It is fun here. I have lots of friends. They are nice to me and my mom. When I went to the carnival we went on the yoyo. It was fun too. My favorite food is cereal. Do you have a dog or a cat? What else do you like to eat? I am learning how to write in cursive and I am a good drawer too. Your friend in Craig, David

Dear friends, Thank you for writing to me. My school is called Hatton Vale State School. It is in Queensland, Australia. I like drawing pictures. My favourite animal is a zebra. It starts with a z just like me. I like going to Dreamworld. It is a fun theme park. I have a dog. What do you play at school? How do you celebrate Christmas? From your Aussie pal, Zali

Dear friends, My school is called Sunset. It is fun here. On Christmas we open presents and we put our tree up. Santa Claus comes down our chimney. He puts presents under our tree. In the morning we open our presents and I put carrots for the reindeer and cookies on a plate for Santa. We put the plate on the fireplace. We decorate our tree. We wrap our presents up for Christmas. But we eat a little of the cookies and we leave a little bit of cookies for Santa to. We go eat breakfast. Christmas is fun. How do you celebrate Christmas? Your friend, David

Dear Pen Pals, Do you have a Christmas tree? Do you decorate a tree? Do you decorate your house? Evan

Dear friends, Yes we did decorate a Christmas tree and our house too. On that Christmas we had lots of presents. We had fun opening presents. We had a nice dinner too. It was good. I am doing good, too, but how are you doing? I am 8. Are you 8? I am in second grade. Are you in second grade? Do you have a cat or dog? We can't have animals at our house. Your friend, David

Dear David, I am 8 and I know how to write in cursive. Your friend, Evan
