Hi Rick,
How are you? I’m in Plymouth for a term at a British
school. It’s an exchange programme to improve my
English! My host family is really nice. They are Mr and Mrs
Hanson and their three children. Alex is fourteen, like me,
and he’s got two sisters, Karen and Anna. They’re twelve
years old and they’re twins. I call them The Terrible Twins!
They’ve both got curly red hair and big ears and they’re
really funny. Even the Hansons’ dog is cool! It’s a black
Labrador and its name’s Charlie. It’s got a red bandana!
