Dear Anna & Joanna,
Softball is something like baseball. Except softball
is a bigger ball and softer. In the past I collected:
Cabapatches( Babydolls), Barbie dolls, and somemore stuff
that I can't think of. Now I collect: Baseball
Cards(sorta), Pogs, And Trolls. That's about it. If you like
baseball cards you can start collecting them( Just an Idea )
The grades in Poland must be at different grading levels or
something like that. I'm not really sure so you might want to
ask your teacher about this. I think I'm going to be a
cosemotoligests when I grow up. If I'm not I will be a Doctor
or a teacher. My grandfather has 2(two) boxes of baseball
cards he is going to give me and he has post stamps that he
is going to give my cousin and basketball cards that he is
going to give my sister. My sister is in third grade she is 9
years old. I have one question: What does this mean:Asica?
Can you please tell me. My friend is writing to you too. Her
name is Anna Blanchfield. Well I have to go,
BBBBYYYYEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your Friend,
Christina
P.S. Write Back Soon........................

Is this about right? If it is not can you please show me
how in your next letter? My third grade teacher was born in
Poland, she was very nice. Is everyone in Poland as nice as
you and her? I hope so! Will you promise me something? Will
you promise to always write back to me? Because I have had
tons of penpals and they just stop writing back to me all of
a sudden!! If I do not write back the very next day I am very
sorry. I am the Edotor of the school newspaper which I have
to have a meeting every once in a while, I also have T.A.D.
which means that I miss computer class because I have to go
right after lunch and I go to computer at my recess time, and
plus everyonce in a while (notice every once in a while) Mrs.
Weeg gets a little behind on the mail and we get our mail a
little late!! Tonight I am going to Leslie Dyson's house and
this Saturday she is going to the parent teacher softball
game. I hope it will be fun!!! I am trying to write a long
letter because I am typing on Mrs. Weeg's computer and I do
not always get to type on her computer! I like her computer
because it is very comfortable!!! Right now the lab is really
packed we have people waiting to type!!! Do you like horror
movies? Ido I also like comedies! What are your favorite
movies? My favorite movies are, Bad Girls, Speed, and much
much more!! Do you play any musical instruments? I do I play
the French Horn and the Piano! Do you have any pets?? I do I
have a cat and a dog. I just looked at your letter and
realized that your real name is Joanna! My real name is
Christina I hate that name!! Have you ever seen Three's
Company? I was named after the gil named Chrissy, but in the
show her real name was Christmas Snow!! I do not think I
could live with that name! In real life her name is Suzanne
Summers. Have you heard of her? Well I got to go!!!
Your friend,
Chrissy
P.S. I am hoping to hear from you!!
