Dear Miguel,

How are you? I’m fine. Here’s a letter in English. It’s good practice for you and me!

I have classes in English at La Guardia Community College. I’m in a class with eight students. They’re all from different countries: Japan, Spain, Norway, Poland and Italy. Our teacher’s name is Isabel. She’s very nice and a very good teacher.

I live with two American girls, Annie and Marnie Kass. They are sisters. Annie’s twenty years old and she’s a dancer. Mamie’s eighteen and she’s a student. They’re very friendly, but it isn’t easy to understand them. They speak very fast!

New York is very big, very exciting but very expensive! The subway isn’t difficult to use and it’s cheap. I’m very happy here.

Write to me soon.

Love,

Dorita.
