Thanks for your email! That sounds like a great idea. I have a friend named Arman who would love to exchange emails with Ryan. He is 16 years old and lives in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia. Arman speaks good English and enjoys meeting new people. He is really into football and plays for a local team. He also likes video games, especially strategy games on PC. Arman is very friendly and easy to talk to, so I think he and Ryan will get along well. Let me know if Ryan is interested, and I can give you Arman’s email. Looking forward to hearing from you! Best,
