In 1935, twins Dulcie and Nancie sent letters into a Sydney radio station. They wanted the host of a radio program to take their mail to Los Angeles to find them pen pals.
Eighty years later, the sisters are still exchanging letters. Their pen pals are also twins.
"I have one very large box full of letters and photos taken over the 80 years," Nancie said.
"The letters are very interesting to read, especially the childhood ones.
"The first letter asked me if I knew Shirley Temple （秀兰·邓波儿）. And of course I did.
“The letters have been extremely interesting, especially over the war years. "
Dulcie and Nancie first met their pen pals Barbara and Beatrice in Sydney, 50 years after they first started writing.
"We've had $o many photos of them that, when they came down the stairs at the airport, I recognized them at once," Dulcie said. "We're still going. I received three letters in the last month. "
Dulcie's daughter became a pen pal with Beatrice's daughter when she was eight. And their third generation has kept in close contact on Facebook and met each other for the first time in Canada a few years ago.
Then what's Dulcie and Nancie's secret to keeping a pen pal for 80 years?

Dear Editor,
I am a shy girl. I s__________ speak to boys, even when they choose to talk to me. Sometimes I do want to chat with them, but then my face will turn red. My heart will beat very f__________ . I often hate myself and I am afraid I can't make any friends. What should I do?
Kitty
Dear Kitty,
With a few exceptions （例外）, everyone experiences this shyness as they grow up. And many teenagers think that they hate themselves and that they can't make new friends. So s__________ thinking negative （消极的） thoughts about yourself.
Your shyness will pass. When you grow up year by year, you will become more confident of your ability to speak to anyone male, female, old or y__________ .
But for now, you need practice. So relax and try not to worry that you will be shy. The boys that want to talk to you p__________ feel just as shy as you do. Another thing to remember is that no one else can see your beating heart. Even if your face does turn red, the person you are talking to may not notice. Perhaps you can practice by chatting to some younger, less confident boys at your school or by talking with other boys you know, a cousin, or a n__________ .
When you are talking to the boy, do not focus on （专注于） how you are feeling, but what you are saying. You will become confident when you face your fears. Try saying one thing to a boy every day. After a few good conversations, you will relax a little.
