Lola writes to me every month, and she sends me photographs - like this one. Sometimes we phone/text each other. Lola is very funny/shy, and her letters always make me laugh/smile.

Here are the corrected sentences based on the context provided:

• Sometimes we phone each other.
• Lola is very funny, and her letters always make me smile.

Explanation:

• 'phone' is chosen over 'text' as it's the first option and generally implies a more personal form of communication for pen pals.
• 'funny' is chosen over 'shy' as 'funny' letters are more likely to make someone laugh or smile.
• 'smile' is chosen over 'laugh' as 'smile' is a more general reaction to letters, while 'laugh' might be too strong unless the content is explicitly humorous.
