Hello Aina,

How are you? I like my new home in Okinawa. My house in Okinawa is bigger than my house in Hokkaido. I helped my Mom paint my bedroom wall yesterday. It is a pretty pink color.

I have a new friend who lives next door. His name is Haru. He is very interested in animals. He has a cat named Yuki. He says he wants to become an animal doctor when he grows up.

I still want to become a writer. I have a new story. Do you want me to send you the story? It’s about animals.

Write back soon.
