Dear Michael,
I am writing my first letter in English to you from Cambridge, as I have promised you. I will be studying at the English Language School for a whole school year.
In your letter you asked me to describe my host family and my new friends. As for my host family, they are really very nice and hospitable! Their names are Jennifer and Christian, and they've got a son John. Jennifer is a housewife. Christian is a mechanic. John is a nice boy. He is only four but next September he'll become a pupil. They are very kind and friendly. They made me feel like part of the family. It is easy for me to get on well with them. I've made some good new friends at school too. All students are very friendly. I am having a really good time.
In my next letter I'll write you more about my new school. Kisses and hugs to you all.
Best wishes from your brother,
Raul
