My Online Friend

           Hi! I’m Tomy. I didn’t believe in “internet friendship” until I found a friend like her, my online friend. We knew each other through a chat room and at first, chatting with her is only to have some fun after a long studying day. However, after a long time, I discovered a lot of similarities between us and we even gave each other advice. Now she and I have a very good friendship although we never meet each other. Besides all other friends at school, clubs, my online friend can push some of my worries away, give me a confidence and love. A lot of people do not believe in friendship like this because through Internet, everything is not real. But not all people are bad. Having an online friend can be great if this friendship doesn’t take too much time of yours and make you happy, improve with your study. I myself feel lucky to have a friend like this. I hope online friend will become a good term in its meaning.

Hi my friend,

I hope you are doing well. Today, I want to share with you some tips about learning English at home.

First, you should read English books or short stories every day. This will help you learn more new words.
Second, you can watch English movies or listen to English songs. It makes studying fun and helps improve your listening.
Third, try to write a short diary in English. This is a good way to practice grammar and writing.
Finally, don’t be shy to speak English with your friends or teachers. The more you practice, the better you will become.

I hope these ideas will be useful for you. Write me back soon!

Best wishes,
Anh Nguyet
