【解析】

A pen-friend is a friend you have never met but to whom you write letters.Many people have pen-friends in different countries.They write and receive letters and sometimes keep their pen-friends for many years.Sometimes they meet their pen-friends and they even get married.But usually people do not meet their pen-friends because they live many miles away from each other.Most pen-friends are between children living in different countries.They write to one another to find out about the way of life in other countries.Sometimes they write so that they can practise using another’s languages.

Letters between pen-friends are usually full of informa-tion about the writer’s own country: his own town, school, interests and so on.Pen-friends often send one another stamps and coins and picture postcards of their own coun-tries.The best place to find a pen-friend is in a children’s magazine.Most magazines for young people list the names and addresses of children in different countries, who are looking for pen-friends;for example: John Smith,aged 14,living at 16 New Road,London,England,wants a pen-friend in China.He is interested in collecting stamps and listening to music.
