Dear Sandy, Thank for your letter. I’m sorry I haven’t written before, but I’ve been doing a lot of studying recently, I haven’t had time for anything else.
Now for my news. My parents finally decided to buy me a pet. I’ve always wanted to have a monkey as a pet, because monkeys are more like people than any other animals. If you look into a monkey’s eyes, you see gentleness and intelligence. Can you believe that some monkey are as smart as people? Have you read anything about animal intelligence? Let me know about it. I watched a video about monkeys some weeks ago and they showed how monkeys can communicate with people. What do you think of it?
Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Best wishes, Mary
