Dear Irene:
Hello! My best friend, I have not seen you for a very longtime. How is everything going? I know right now I live in New York City but I still miss you a lot. Before I moved to this city, I thought New York City was a great place to live. It has a lot of different stores selling many different things. Also, it has many beautiful places to visit. I felt so disapponted after I moved here. It is because in this city, it has many different races of people andwhen I walking on the street, I do not know any one of them. In addition, New York City has a lot of cars, people are driving cars and compete with each other, so when I need to across the street, I need to be very careful.
Luckly, I met a lot of new friends after I moved here. They are all very nice and friendly. I remember one day in the summer, my friends took me to the park in Chinatown. In the park, there are a lot of people playing right there. They are all doing many different things inside the park. Some people are playing basketball, handball, tennis and volleyball. Some old people are sitting in a group and playing chess. Children are playing around in the playground; their parents are sitting next to the playground and talking with each other, also they keeping their eyes on their child. You may ask me, how about you? What are you doing right there? I and my friend Bryan were playing volleyball together. Bryan is one of my friends who can play volleyball very well. He is just like a King on the volleyball court when he plays volleyball. He picks up every single ball and doesn’t let the ball hit the ground. I am proud of him, and I try to get him to teach me how to play. On that day, I felt so happy and had a wonderful day.
Right now, I feel that I haved change a lot. I don’t think New York City is as bad as I through before. You also knew that I was not an active person before. I didn’t like to talk a lot, I didn’t like to hang out to play, and I didn’t know how to meet other people as my friends, I liked stay at home. But now, I am an active person, I like to meet with other people, and I like to hang out with my friends to play. I don’t like to stay at home when I have free time.
In addition, I am so busy right now because I am in college. I have a lot of work to do. I need to read a lot of books, and need to write a lot of homework. So I don’t have a lot of time to play around. No more high school life at all, I need to work very hard in college. Therefore I may not have a lot of time to play with you or write letters to you. I still remember the time when I was with you. In that period of time, I felt so happy and my life was filled with meaning. I don’t feel my life is empty. Even though I was so busy, and doing all my college work, I still miss you a lot. No matter how busy I am or how many new friends I meet, you will always still be my best friend. I won’t forget you even though we are in different place, which is no matter. I know you are also busy right now, but in side my heart, I hope that, even though we just have that little free time, I still try my best to meet with you, because I miss you so much. I can’t wait for another minute. I hope we can see each other and stay with each other for another period of time very soon. I hope you can be happy everyday and have a wonderful life.
Your Best Friend
