Dear Jack,

Thanks for sending me the snow globe of the

monster. I love it. In fact I think it’s probably my

favorite. I’ve been collecting snow globes for seven

years, and now I have 226 of them. My mom says I

have to stop, because we’ve run out of room to store

them. They’re all around our apartment. I even

store them in boxes under my bed.

3a. Read the following message.

The first one I ever got was a birthday cake snow

globe on my seventh birthday. I particularly love

globes with animals. I have a big one with bears in

it, and another one with penguins. If you know

anyone else who collects them, please tell me. I’d

like to start a snow globe collectors’ club. By the

way, what’s your hobby?

love,

Ellen

3b.

Dear ________,

I want to tell you about my hobby. I collect

kites. I’ve been collecting them for four years.

and I have123 of them now. I collect them

because they are beautiful and interesting.

I have a kite with the face of Monkey King,

which is a present from China.

Linda

And I have some kites like butterflies. They

are just like real animals in the sky. Every

sunny Saturday I’ll go and fly one of them.

They bring me so much fun. If you know

anyone else who collects them, please tell me.

I’d like to make friends with them.

Yours,

Bob
