Hi Celia, my name is Emily, Emily Vardina Danuarta. Quite long, isnt it? I got to
know you through my classmate, Eliza. She told me that you are her cousin. If Im not
mistaken, you mother and Elizas mother are sisters and your father is an American. Is
that true?
About my family, I have an elder brother, Henry and a younger adopted sister,
Nia. At weekends, my family and I often visit our grandparents, Mr. And Mrs. Budi, in
Magelang, Elizas hometown. They are my fathers parents. My mothers parents have
passed away.
By the way, what is your favourite subject? I like science. I would like to be a
scientist one day and during my high school time, I hope I can win a science competition.
Recently, many high school students have won science project and I want to be like
them.
I think thats all for now. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.
Best regards,
Emily
