Dear Emma,

Thank you for your last email. How are you? I'm very excited about our upcoming school exchange in Wellington.

I love playing basketball and reading mystery novels. I also enjoy hiking and exploring new places. In Wellington, I look forward to visiting the beautiful landscapes and trying local food. What are your hobbies and interests?

I have a few questions about life in New Zealand. What's the weather like? Is it different from here? Also, how is the school system? Do you have any special traditions at your school?

Can you tell me more about your daily life in Wellington? What places do you recommend visiting during my stay? I heard Wellington has great museums and parks.

I'm looking forward to meeting you soon!

Take care,
(your name)
