 西川京子先生へ

 西川先生、お元気ですか。アリゾナはあついですか。日本はすこしさむいです。今、私は日本のかぞくと大学のちかくにすんでいます。ここは小さくて、しずかなまちです。
 私のかぞくは四人です。みんなとてもしんせつで、たのしいです。お父さんはコンピューターの会社ではたらいています。いそがしくて、毎日おそく帰ります。お母さんはとてもおもしろい人です。いっしょによくはなします。いもうとは高校生です。らいねん大学ですから、よくべんきょうします。毎日学校から帰って、すぐじゅくへ行きます。日本の高校生はたいへんですね。

おにいさんは東京の大学に行っていますから、あまり会いません。
 私は今、日本語と日本文学のクラスをとっています。テニスサークルにも入っています。とてもおもしろいです。
 西川先生はいつ日本に帰りますか。日本で会いましょう。たのしみにしています。
 からだに気をつけてください。
