Tarjeta Postal- Informal Writing #3

Escribe una tarjete postal. Imagina que escribes a tu profesor(a) de espanol. Acabas de llegar a un pais hispanohablante, donde vas a participar en un programa de intercambio. Saluda a tu profesor(a) y:
- cuentale como te fue el viaje y la llegada
- describe a la familia con quien te vas a quedar
- explica que cursos vas a tomar y que excursiones vas a hacer

Hola Senora Nunes!
Ya estoy aqui en Mazatlan! Mi viaje fue largo pero todo estubo bien. Cuando llegue el ambiente era muy caliente. Era diferente de alla en Sacramento. Me voy a quedar con la familia Chavez. Ellos tienen dos hijas y un hijo. Son amables y divertidos.
El colegio no esta legos de donde ellos viven. El hija mayor nos lleva a la escuela.
Estoy tomando clases de la cultura de espanol para aprender mas. Casi nada es diferente aca. La tecnologia y el estilo es igual. Es muy bonito aqui en Mazatlan. Como ya estoy aqui quiero ir a la playa y comprar recuerdos, dulces y divertirme un poco.
