PEN FRIENDS
I If you could write to a pen friend anywhere in the world and learn about a different culture, which country would
you choose? Writing to pen friends has been popular for decades, although nowadays, many people write and
send their letters by computer.
II No one really knows when writing to pen friends began, but at the 1964 Worlds Fair, the Parker Pen Company
used a computer to match pen friends from the United States with people around the world who shared common
interests. The programme, which was called Peace through Understanding through Writing, was tremendously
successful. By August 1965, the programme had matched a million pen friends.
III The idea of writing to people from other countries continued to be very popular during the late 60s and early
70s. International journalist Geraldine Brooks grew up in Australia during the 1960s, and like many other young
Australians, she never had the chance to meet people from other parts of the world. However, writing to pen
friends gave her the chance to get to know people from other countries and make new friends with people from
around the world.
IV Since the 1960s, many pen-friend organisations have been created as a meeting place for people from different
countries. While some organisations offer only Internet communication, other organisations encourage both
e-mail (online) and snail mail (postal) contact. Surprisingly, in todays world of modern technology and the
Internet, many people still prefer to write letters instead of sending e-mails. They enjoy receiving envelopes with
colourful stamps, reading letters written in different handwriting and saving the letters as personal history.
V Maybe thats why people today, like the young Geraldine Brooks, still get excited about receiving a letter from
a pen friend. These letters bring a different piece of the world into their postbox.
