Read the text carefully then do the activities.
Hey Amel,
I’ve easily seen your name on Facebook and thought of sending you a friend request because I
want to know you and little bit about your country Algeria. But let me say something about me first.
My name is Anne Jacobson. I’m 16 years old and I’m a first-year student at Abraham Lincoln high
school in Brooklyn, New York. I usually wake up at 7:00 because I always have classes from 8:00 in
the morning to 14:00 in the afternoon. After school, I often go to the gym because I care about my
body fitness.
I live with my lovely parents. Mum is a journalist and my dad is a teacher in my school. I’m their
oldest kid because I have two younger brothers: Tommy and Jason. They’re twins and both of them go
the same primary school. Their school is very near to our house
New York is a wonderful state. It’s one of the best cities in the USA. It’s quite famous with its
skyscrapers and street ads. It’s very crowded too.
I’m looking forward to get more in touch with you. So don’t hesitate to accept my request and it’ll
be a great pleasure to be your pen-friend.
