I got your e-mail yesterday. Thanks for the pictures of your family. I am very

city of Oman. I live in a small flat with my family in Muscat. I have two brothers and

three sisters. My school is six kilometers from my house. I go to school by bus. I have

many friends. My favourite subject is English but I don't like maths. After school, I don’t

be a teacher.

Bye !
