(A) Dear Addie,

I?m very excited to have you as my pen friend. I guess it?s my turn to tell you about myself.

First off, I live with my parents, two sisters, and our pet dog. Our town is only about a half-hour away from New York City. My oldest sister just turned 17, that means she now has a driver?s license. She drives us to the mall. Do you have a mall near you? My other sister is 11 and her name is Lucy. I guess I would say that she is my best friend. We still fight sometimes. She rides horses

and takes lessons every Saturday morning. I have to go with her sometimes, and that is truly the most boring thing in the world. Do you like horses?

I play scores in the fall; I?m on the swim team during the summer. I like swim, but I am really looking forward to diving this year. Next year I will start music lessons in school.

Our house has eight rooms and a small garden where every year we try to grow vegetables. We mostly get zucchini because the rabbits eat everything else. I guess rabbits don?t like zucchini. I have a bike and mum agrees me to ride up and down our street, but nowhere else. I hope that I will get to ride it to school someday. Right now I take a bus.

Well, that is enough about me for now. I look forward to hearing from you again soon. I hope your surfing lessons went well. And I hope your mum does let you learn to play the drums.

Write soon Love, Jessica

The mother was very surprised. Before she could get her son back, the famous pianist himself was on the stage and quickly moved to the piano.

“Don?t stop. Keep playing,” he said kindly to the boy. The great pianist reached down with his left hand and began filling in the bass (低音部) part of the song.
