How about you: Where do you live? What do you do? And how big is your family?

I just corrected the grammar and spelling. But what is the purpose of this letter? Why is Joel writing to Tara? The beginning of the letter (introducing himself) -- why? is she supposed to be a pen pal? or...? There seems to be something missing (for example, if she is a pen-pal, and this is the first letter he has written to her, you would have an introduction and ending that would be different from what you wrote)

It's good! Only one small mistake: 'one children' should say ' one child'.

my advise is that the text needs links words to seem more natural, to have more level.
