HERE IS AN EXAMPLE:

Hi Soraya,
I am your nephew Mario. How are you? I'm having a great time in Saldaña. Thanks for your last e-mail, we all miss you so much.
I could tell you all the things I've done in summer, but my favourite day was the one we went to the amusement park.
Last month we went to the amusent park “Magic Island”. It was something horrible! We arrived at Seville at 8.00 am and had breakfast in a restaurant.When we were sitting, the waiter came to our table, and said to us: Would you like the day menu? My mum said: Yes, please.When the waiter brought me the incredible delicious day menu, I realized that it wasn’t very delicious.In the plate it was only a mini toast with a worm inside and a glass of milk with a dead fly floating on it!When we finished our terrible small breakfast we arrived at Magic Island.Withing all the attractions, there was one called “Anaconda”, which consists of a sort of train riding over water and had a slope of approximately twenty-five metres. When we were going down the slope, I fell into the water and I had to swim to get out.That day had a really strange bad begining, but had an amazing fantastic end.

Well, that's all for now, I hope to hear from you soon.

Kisses,
Mario
