Dear Tod,

My name is Lisa. I live in a small village. I stay at home every day and help my mother do housework because I can’t see anything. I am blind, but I like singing very much. I listen to the radio and learn songs by myself. I like your songs very much. I dream to see you one day and listen to you sing.

When I found out you will come to the town near our village, I felt very excited. I want to go to your concert. I wish to meet you and ask you to teach me how to sing. I hope my dream will come true.

SEE YOU
