My Response to My New Penpal...

你好， Mark!

别担心:) 你说什么都行！ 我喜欢各种各样的音乐， 比如说流行音乐，节奏布鲁斯,  饒舌音乐和Kpop 。另外， 因为我从小的时候弹吉他，弹钢琴， 所以我喜欢吉他音乐和古典音乐。

Also, this is random but the weather is really great today! Before, it was always either snowing or raining here, but now it is finally warm! I usually love cold weather but it was time for a change. At my school, students LOVE to do something we call  “lawning” in the spring. It is not a proper english word; the students just made up the word. “Lawning” is when you relax in the sun and sunbath.

这是有些“lawning”的学生：

顺便问一下，你今天过得怎么样？你有什么问题要问我吗？

Best,

Tori

祝：无忧无虑😄😄😄

A New Pen Pal This Term...

I have a new pen pal this term. This is what I wrote them:

你好，我听说你是我的笔友了！

我的英文名字叫Tori, 可是我的中文名字是陆文凯。 我现在上安多弗高中， 上十一年级，今年十七岁。 因为我是寄宿生, 所以我现在住在我的学校， 可是我的家人住在康涅狄格州。我的学校离我的家差不多两个小时。这个学期我在上五门课：数学课，英语课，中文课，历史课和物理课。 在学校，我很喜欢学中文，已经学了两年中文。 周末我喜欢跟朋友玩儿，玩儿电子游戏，织衣服， 看书， 什么的。 你家有几口人？ 周末你喜欢做什么？你喜欢什么样的的音乐？

(Apparently I’m supposed to write to you both in Chinese and English, so I’ll write in English now!)

I guess I’ll tell you little bit more about myself! I have two siblings. My older sister is named Michaela, and she is currently a sophomore in college. My older brother, Ti, is just about to graduate from college. My mother is a biologist, and my father is a researcher and a doctor.  Because I go to a boarding school, I haven’t seen my family in a while, but I’m excited to see them in the summer! By the way, what are your parents occupations?

I think that’s a pretty good introduction for now. Can’t wait to here back from you!

Best,

Tori (文凯）

祝：天天开心 :)
