6．Dear friend,
　　My name is Teresa Lopez. I live in the center of Buenos Aires and I'm twelve and a half years old. I study in a small school in the city. There are only three buildings in the school:a teaching building, an office building and a dining hall. A playground is in the middle of the school, and students and teachers can play sports there in the morning or after school. The black teaching building is between the school gate and the playground. Behind the playground, the white office building is on the left and the yellow dining hall is on the right.
　　I enjoy the school life. I'm good at music and languages but I hate history. The history lessons are so boring. When I'm older, I want to be a film star or a dancer but my parents don't think that's a good idea!
　　I like meeting lots of different people, and I'd like to travel all around the world. I have only been to the USA, but next summer I hope to visit China. That's why I'm looking for a pen friend in China.
　　Please send me an email and tell me about your school and your life.
Yours,
Teresa
