Dear Paul,
I’ve just got your letter and decided to write straight away. I know exactly how you feel. When I moved to the city last year, I felt very lonely. Don’t worry, though, there are several things you can do.
Firstly, why don’t you join some local clubs? There are lots of hiking clubs in that area and I know you love walking. That way, you will meet other people who enjoy doing the same kinds of things. It would also be a good idea to join a drama group. If you do this, you will become more confident and you’ll also make new friends.
I hope I’ve been of some help. Write soon and let me know how things are going.
Take care,
Kate
