My two cents on 'Short or long letters?'
by Natasha

I began writing to my pen pals because i was very interested in other countries and other peoples lives apart from mine. I love to learn about other people and quite frankly i don't think a short 10 line letter will quench my thirst for wanting to learn more...
Longer letters generally contain more information. obviously, this shows that the person actually wants to write to me and learn about me too.
Longer letters give me the confidence to write exactly what i mean no matter how long the sentences are.
Also because most pen pals are overseas it takes longer for them to reach you. You want to know whats been happening during that period of time!
so i am definitely for the longer letters.
