Dear Rafik,

I found your name and address in a list at www.makingfriends.org, so I quickly

began to type you these few words.
My name is Melinda Griffith. I am a Polish girl. I am 18 years old. I am a pupil at the
secondary school. I am tall with long hair and blue eyes.
In Poland, school usually begins at 08 o'clock except Saturdays and Sundays because
everybody is on weekend. My friends and I often practise tennis and go to the cinema on
weekends, but I never forget my school duties. I always make sure that my homework is
done before leaving home.
My family and I live in Warsaw. It is the capital city of Poland. Dad is a carpenter
and my mother is a midwife. She likes her job very much and she is very good at it. I have
two brothers. Ted is 14 years old. He is a pupil too. Patrick is 04 years old. He does not go
to school yet. My mother always takes him to the nursery before she goes to work.
Finally, this is all I can tell you now. I will tell you more about Poland in my next e-
mail. Please tell me about yourself, your family and life in Algeria.
Sincerely yours'
Melinda
