Replying to a letter from a new pen pal
From: tomurray @
To: jcolin @
Subject: Re:Hi!
Date: July 26th, 2010
Hi, Jason,
Great to hear from you! I’d really like to be your pen pal. I think an Internet pal is a better name, isn’t it?
I’m of the same age as you are and I’m in Grade 8 at junior high school. I live with my mom and my older sister. My mom works. She’s a nurse. My sister also goes to work too, so I look after myself most of the time. My dad doesn’t live with us but I see him once a week. He takes me to football games.
I like most sports too, but my favorite sport is American football. I watch “my team” play football every Sunday. They are the best in the League.
My best friend is my dog. His name is Abe, after Abraham Lincoln. Some people say it’s a silly name for a dog, but I like it. And so does he! He looks like a mixture of every dog you’ve ever seen. I got him from the City Dog Pound. When he saw me, he wagged his tail, and I knew we were going to be friends. He goes everywhere with me. When my mom is on the night shift at the hospital, Abe sleeps on my bed!
Please write to me soon, and tell me something about Paris.
Yours, sincerely
Tommy

Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness.
Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier. The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future— for example, getting into college or getting a good job--that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.
Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.

A. Money Makes You Happy

A. the more friends you have, the happier you will be
