Answer 1

Dear Patrick,

Thanks for your letter!It's really nice to hear from you.

In my oppinion, teenagers become friends because of similar interests. As for me,my best friend is Olga. She is very kind and friendly person who always helps me when i need it. Friendship plays an important role in my life and i can't imagine my life without it.

It's really nice that this girl and you met with each other. How does she look like? How old is she? How have you met each other?

That's all news for now.

Write back soon,

Love,

(Nastya)

Answer 2

Dear Patrick,

I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling lonely after moving house. Making new friends can be challenging, but I'm sure you'll find some great people in your new area. To make friends as a teenager, it's important to get involved in activities or clubs that interest you. This is a great way to meet people with similar interests. My best friend is very outgoing and always knows how to make me laugh. Friendship is very important to me because I believe that having a strong support system is crucial in life.

As for the girl in your class, it's great that you feel a connection with her. My questions for you about her are: What are her interests? Have you spoken to her before? Do you think she feels the same way about you?

Take care and good luck with making new friends!

Best, [Your Name]
