I really appreciate your creating a pen pal club in America－－－my first email to pen pal Jackie Hello Jackie (wow it's a girl's name, that's to my surprise! You know, there is a Chinese KONGFU movie star whose name is Jackie Chan! haha) My name is Amanda, a 15 years old Chinese girl. en......I am definitely seeking for new pen pals and very excited when get your email! I really appreciate your creating a pen pal club in America, I don't think there are many places like this in China. The most popular social activities here are QQ zone and we chat moments hahaha! These things are just like facebook or twitter that you use, these are false socail activities ,in my opinion. But my impression of the social activities in America comes up to be ————clubs and parties , which we can hardly enjoy. These are true social activities! I have just become a community tutor on italki, teaching Chinese. I do that not for that such little money that I can earn, but for accumulate some extracurricular activities . You know this kind of things are really important if I want to entrance an American University . Oh I really envy that teenagers at my age can have a small job in the USA, there is a boy living in America who practiced Chinese with me told me that he is working in a IT company currently and he is only in Senior Two! Oh......That's illegal of kids under 18 to work here in China! I know the reason ,that's because a big number of Chinese people who live in Country side are really poor, and the parents don't want their children continue studying in school but to work. In this situation if the government didn't promulgate this piece of law put it into force , the average education level of China would be too low.OK OK I am digressing from the subject! I mean, yeah ,the activities are important. But teaching Chinese is also my passion, and I feel proud to help others grasp my language and know my culture since these are regarded as civilization treasures of the whole world. So if there are any guys who have interest in Chinese I would love to help——in any way——for example : send me compositions and I would help to correct them, ask my questions and I would answer ,or keep in touch in Chinese in order to practice. I am willing to do that. By the way don't you think if we send things spanning the vast pacific ocean can take a very long time and be expensive? Any way my address is here , maybe it can be used sometime XXXXXXXXXXXX End here! *･゜ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･'(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)'･
