Become a Penpal (It's not just for children) and be an ambassador

You can practice your English with a pen pal. Many people have complained about penpals, especially because the people don't reply to letters.

Some rules for Pen Pals

1. Always reply. (This is a sticking point for some students -- "How rude to not reply!" one students told me_.

2. Keep the tone positive. Write about positive things in the other country.

3. Ask open questions. "Why is your president so angry?" might be a difficult way to start a conversation. You could ask, "What are the issues that my country could be more open-minded about?"

4. Be curious. Ask questions that encorage the other person to share someting about their culture.
