<b>IV. READING </b>
It is great to have pen pals. In my opinion, friendship is among the meaningful relations in
our life. Many of my friends have pen pals and they correspond regularly. A friend of mine once got
a letter from the school mailbox and told me a lot of interesting things about her pen pal. That made
me excited and I was eager to have one. Therefore, I got online and did some chatting. I was lucky
to get to know a very nice Australian girl. Her name's Jenny. She and I are the same age and we
have a lot of things in common.
Although my English was not very good at first, we were able to understand each other quite
well. My English has improved a lot. Jenny has never been to Viet Nam. However, she thinks well
of our country and our people. When she comes to Viet Nam, I will take her to some interesting
places, especially our World Heritage Sites, such as Ha Long Bay, Hoi An Ancient Town, My- Son
Tower. Through her mail, she tells me about her country. Thanks to Jenny, I know more and more
about Australia. I hope to be an exchange student in Australia some day and we will be able to meet.

2. The writer has 'never been to Australia. _____
3. Australia doesn't have as many World Heritage Sites as Viet Nam. _____
4. The pen pal mentioned is as old as the writer. _____
