20、orse to where the lesson takes place.There,one volunteer leads the horse,and usually two walk alongside for safety,one on each side.Then the horse must be returned to the barn,unsaddled,cleaned and fed.Yet so many people willingly give their time because the children need us.Ranging in age from two

36、locations and stick to someone only two years older or younger than you if you are a kid,maybe even a difference of five or so if you are an adult.1Connect with others who share your hobby.When looking through profiles pay attention to what the users enjoy doing.2 Or choose someone with a completely

37、 different set of hobbies so both of you can teach each other something new.3 There are often elderly users who are interested in developing friendships in their old age.Communicating with these pen pals can not only allow you to make a friend across generations,but help somebody who needs a friend.

38、Check the website guidelines to find out how to make contact.4 Dont get attached to them before they write back to avoid letdowns.Paid websites will typically only let you send one initial message or a smiley,so make sure you have a premium membership if youre trying to maintain contact.5 Write a bi

39、t about yourself and why you are writing.For example,you could say “I am a high school student in Allentown,Pennsylvania looking to find friends abroad who are interested in botany.” Dont give too much information upfront so you can decide if this is the right pen pal for you before disclosing a phy
