My e-pal is a 13-year-old boy attending middle school in America. His eating habits are diverse, since he likes both unhealthy hamburgers and healthy salads. His academic interests are equally divergent, because they include both physics and P.E. He likes movies and playing basketball. He's probably tall and strong, since he is very athletic. He's also humorous, which is why he is popular at school. （这里把你说的重述了一下，但是改的流畅了一些，后面开始我的原创）
Those are my e-pal's characteristics from the most basic levels. But they are not why I want to befriend him. In an e-pal, I'm looking for someone who can communicate well with me. I want to share a deeper connection with him, and I think I've found the right person.（就是说你不是只想要一个肤浅的了解，而是想要更深层的交流，而你觉得他正好）
We have a lot of differences, of course. We live in very different countries. There are so many things we do not know about each other. For example, he probably has no idea how great real Chinese food can be, or how hard our classes are. And I don't know what it would be like to have siblings, or to eat hamburgers at home, or to keep an American schedule. I used to think it would be easier to live the way he does. （解释你们之间有文化差异之类的）
We have had some disagreements over these things. But now I know that our differences are precisely why he's perfect. Through talking to him, I can learn so many things. I already understand his country so much better. My perspective is widening. I now know his life is not easier than mine; it's just hard in a different way.（跟他交流有何帮助，就是理解更多、谅解更多、视野更开阔）
