The document provides information about three potential pen pals: Sam Richards from Britain, Irene Gordon from Australia, and Hiroshi Okada from Japan. It gives their ages, countries, hobbies, and ambitions. The student is asked to choose one pen pal and provide reasons using the provided keywords of age, country/nationality, hobbies/interests, and ambition. The student chooses Sam Richards as their pen pal because they are the same age, they want to learn about Britain, they have the same hobbies of reading and stamp collecting, and they have the same ambition of becoming a pilot. The student is then asked to practice choosing another pen pal.
