When I find something good, I always want to talk about it. My school friends never listen to music, so they’re not interested. Some people think I’m shy. It’s true that I don’t have parties or meet friends after school, but there are lots of things I want to talk about. If you share my love of music, please write. Hello everyone, my name’s Star and I’m twelve. I do gymnastics three times a week, and I always play volleyball on Saturday. Yes, I’m very sporty! And I’m very good at telling bad jokes!! Who do I want to meet? Someone who is fun and friendly. Are you that person? Hello, I’m Laura. I’m thirteen years old and I love people and animals. I’ve got a lovely sister but she’s very hard-working, so we don’t talk much. And I’ve got a wonderful cat but, of course, she’s very quiet. I talk to her a lot but she never answers! I like people who are honest and good at listening. Is that you? Please write. Adapted from High Score1
