I don’t have any friends in other countries I mean friends that I know really well and something like that but I havr people that I know them but not so well that I miss them or something no we were just regular relationships and I mostly forget them now
I don't have any friends or well-known people in other countries, except my great aunt, who is living in U.S.A. I met her only few times, so I never went to U.S.A or sent her a letter. I don't know even where she lives in U.S.A.! Even my parents know someone from Italy, I don't know them, because I've never met them. And the most important, I've been a few foreign countries, for a few days, such as 2~3 days. It is not a great time to make a friends and be parted with them. Also, I can't speak other languages well, even though it's English, because I feel some kinds of nervous when I try to speak with native speakers. Of course, there can be someone who wants to be a friend with me, but it's not good for me. I feel really really sad and already miss them if they leave, even though the time which I and my friends spent is very little and short. So I never made a friends in foreign countries, if it wasn't a very close friend. Penpals? No, I don't want to think abut it. Do you know how sad and pull me into a great suffer to make a friend who I can never meet? It's pity! But, I used to imagine about making a foreign friends in the future, when I become a world-famous musical star. I'm really looking foward to it!
Hi Giovannichoi,
I hope your dream comes true and you become a world-famous musical star in the future. What sort of music would you like to sing and do you have a favourite singer at the moment?
Best wishes, Tina (LearnEnglish Teens team)
Hi! Thank you for reply on my comment! Actually, after I'd been on the stage only one time, I don't have role models yet.. But I'm not meaning that I don't want to be a world- famous musical singer! I always spend my time thinking about myself who is traveling around the world, with my collegues.
HI
Yes, I have friends who live in other countries. But I don't have the opportunity to visit them, for now.
When I was in grade 1, I had a friend. He sat at the same table with me. He's kind and very innocence. At that time, I teased him a lot. I feel happy, maybe a friend like me in his memory as a witch. I almost didn't remember him at that time. When I finished grade 1 and went to grade 2, I was smarter. I realized HE WENT TO AUSTRALIA WITH HIS PARENTS. I was a bit of shock. I was lost a good friend. Now I even don't remember his full name. I merely remember his face and his hairstyle when he was a kid. Maybe he doesn't know who am I either. But if we are predestined, we will meet each other on a beautiful day. : )
I have but not really a best friends... nope, it never cross in my mind but if someday I have some money, I would like to visiting them.
Hi guys,
yes, I do have friends and family living in foreign countries and I do often go to visit them.
it's amazing how people from so far away are somehow connected to each other, as friends or even relatively. friends or family who live in other countries are quite lonely, as they are away from their homeland and visiting them will give the company. you can learn from friends in different countries.

Hi Silvy,
I'm happy to meet you the next weekend. You tell me about your friend play in a music group. This's a great idea! I'm glad to go with you the concert.
Too, you tell me if I prefer to trip by boat or see football. I chose the first option. More, you are learning Italian. I like the languages so it's really important learn languages because you know different point of view, cultures, books, etc. An advice, I think you read a lot and talk with a native person.
Sorry but my new skateboat don't bring with me. It is too heavy!
Bye,
Sole
I have a lot of friends all over the world: Chile, Argentina, Mexico, United States, Canada, Italy, Spain, Australia, etc, but I haven't visited them. However, I feel to visit them soon.
Hi Silvy,
greetings..
This is Rahul From Peru.
I have sow your mail and interest you have mentioned below.
So my dear friend enjoying your holidays..
Hi Chris,
Hello, how are you?
Meh, I would not like to go and see your friend, I don't like concerts, nor bands, obviously...
I wouldn't even like to go to those boring activities you say, we'd rather go to a shop centre, and buy an ice cream
I can help you with you lessons of italian, there is an App that you can download on you iPad called Duolingo, that would help you with that, ita has a lot lf languages for you to learn!
And finally, I am not taking my new super skateboard, I know you would like to have one as mine, but my mother does not let me to let you use it, she says you will break it!
Sincerely, your best friend Hugo! :).

Yes, I have friends in other countries. I've been one time to visit them. Now I'm planning to go in Germany to visit another friend. Of course if my parents let me go in Germany, I would go. :)
Yes, i have friends living other countries. I don`t gone them
No, i don't have any. Having friends live in other countries seems great, we can learn each other either languages or culture, i wish i had one someday.
I never actually knew how to write an informal email, now I have understood.
