If you're looking for penpals for the first time or have some difficulty
writing the first letter,
here's some tips to you ...
I know, sometimes is not easy to talk about ourselves with someone
you never saw or talked before,
you don't know what he/she does like or no
or what will happen
1. first of all, be sincere and write what you are and what
you're looking for... as is the first letter, you don't need to write and write
turning it so long
you don't need to tell the story of your life
2. you need to introduce yourself, so... say your first name, birthday,
where you're from, about your profession
or studies, about your hobbies,
you could say a little about your family, pets, your city,
about your favorite things (actors, movies, books, etc.)
3. try to make some questions about what you'd like to know
of your new friend,
it's a nice way to start themes to talk about,
but please be polite and not disturb with so personal questions
maybe they couldn't like to answer
4. If you like to collect something, say what you like
and ask if maybe the person would be interested to
swap... for example
post cards, stamps, currency, magnets, etc.
5. If you're learning a new idiom, it'd be an excellent way to practice it,
one could help each other
6. Don't say lies or something rude
7. Open your mind to different cultures and remember
each people from different country has your own tradition,
religion and points of views that can be different of yours
and must be respected
8. Try to use beautiful paper to write
and a good handwritting
9. you can write a letter by hand or type it in case
you don't like your handwriting (or feel pain for writing so long)
sometimes some people don't like letters typed into computer
but I think it's not a big problem to a good and real friendship
if this is the unique and better way
10. And you could conclude the letter in a way that leaves things open
and invites a reply
like ...
"I look forward to getting to know you better and I hope to hear
from
you as soon as possible... best wishes" and say your name and date
Now......... good luck !!! and keep writing !!!
