CORRECTION


        Hi there! My aunt Betty is a special woman. She is fat but she is active. She was born in Paris but now she lives in Tokyo. She usually goes to work by bike. She looks nasty but she is tender and intelligent. Her students love her because she is always happy. Her daughter Diana is a beautiful smart 7-year-old girl. She speaks two languages and she is excellent at Maths. My father loves his sister and so does the whole family. My aunt loves to help other people. I think she is the most generous person I know.
