Pen pal relationships are often used to practice reading and writing in a foreign language. Sometimes, a school will adopt a school in Another Country, to trade information regarding lifestyles and make friendships. Sometimes, people are only pen pals for the length of a school year, while others may become friends for life.
You can become PenPals with a friend's friend that lives far away, like China. You can email back and forth.
