A letter from America

Dorita is an English student at a school in Queens, New York City. Read to her letter to Miguel, her brother in
Argentina.

41 46th Street
Sunnyside, New York 11104
February 12
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, Brazil, Switzerland, Poland, and Italy. Our teacher’s name is Isabel. She’s very nice and a
very good teacher.
I live in an apartment with two American girls, Annie and Mary Kass. They are sisters. Annie’s twenty years old and
a dancer. Mary’s eighteen and 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 sue and it’s cheap. It’s very
cold now but Central Park is lovely in the snow. I’m very happy here. 6

Write to me soon.
Love,
