=Read this letter from Madame Kalfus (by June 10)=

Chers élèves,

 Je m'appelle Madame Kalfus. Je suis américaine, d'origine allemande. J'habite à St. Louis, dans le Missouri. J'ai 41 ans. Je suis né le 29 août, 1969 à St. Louis.

 J'ai un frère. Il s'appelle David. Il n'est pas plus jeune que moi**:** il est plus âgé que moi. Il a 46 ans. J'ai une mère, un père, un mari, un fils, une fille et deux chiens. Mes parents sont mariés, mon frère est marié, et moi aussi, je suis mariée. Mon père est mécanicien de vélos et ma mère est caissière à Schnucks. Mon mari est homme d'affaires. Plus tard, moi, je voudrais être professeur de français. Attendez! Je suis **déjà** (already) prof de français! Ha!

Je ne fais pas de sport, mais j'aime jouer au volleyball et au frisbee. Je joue de la guitare, mais je ne joue pas très bien. Quand j'ai du temps libre, j'aime lire, faire une promenade avec mes chiens, cuisiner, et voyager.

A bientôt!

Madame Kalfus
