Grace is twenty-one years old, Sally is sixteen years old and Tommy is five years old. There is also Happy, their dog. At school I met John. He's my best friend here in America.

We spend a lot of time together and I often go out and hear him playing the guitar. I'll write another email very soon. Take care!
