Dear Amel,
I've found your address on the Internet. I’m writing because I want to know more about you and your
country. But I have to introduce myself first. §1

My name's Kirsi. Kirsi is a name which is quite common in Finland. I'm sixteen years old. Nearly everyone
my age goes to school in Finland. Children can finish school when they are 16, but no one really wants to do
so, because without any serious training. They can't get a good job. I want to become a journalist later. So I
will have to study for SIX more years. §2

On weekdays, I generally get up very early in order to prepare myself for school, which is a little bit far
from my home. I always go there by bus so as not to arrive late.I have classes from 8:30 to 12 in the morning
and from 2 to 4 in the afternoon. I have lunch either at the school canteen or at a fast-food restaurant. I revise
my lessons until about 10 in the evening. I rarely go out at the weekend because I prefer to relax at home
listening to music or watching TV. §3

My family is a typical Finnish family: Mum and Dad and two children (my brother Jari and me). Jari's
fourteen years old. My mother is a housewife and my father is an electrician. Our house is rather small. We all
love animals. We have a dog and a parrot. But neither of them really belongs to me. Both of them are Jari's
pets. I'm always happy to hear the parrot repeating my name every time I come back home from school. The
dog is sometimes furious at the talkative parrot. §4

We live in Central Finland in a tiny village called Tikkakoski. It has only about 4,000 inhabitants, and we
all know one another. Jyvaskyla is our nearest town. It's very nice. It isn't very big. It has only 63,000 people,
but you know, we have about 7 million people in the whole country. §5

Finland is in the north of Europe. It's very famous for its saunas and lakes. Winter is terrible. It's always
freezing. But summer is fairly coo1. In summer, I like going to public gardens in order to listen to elderly
people telling funny stories about the time when they were young. §6
Well, I guess that's all for now! Keep in touch!
Kirsi
PS: Find my photo in attachment. Please, send me some information about Algeria.
