pen pal letters

This week in class I am having my kids write letters to American students that I am "actually going to send to America". The letters have obviously been hilarious so I though I'd share my favorite ones...

To: Friend

Hello! My name is Dong Ju-Shin

What is your name?

I am 15 years old and I live in Gwangju, South Korea.

In Korea, it's spring here.

How's the weather in America? and where do you live?

You! Girl? or Boy?

I am a boy.

And I love to eat the brain of monkey and bear's bile.

Taste it ~ it's very good for body.

Do you know "Rain" who is a famous singer in the world.
