Informal email - Paula Merchan

Hi there, Sarah!

How are you? Is everything going well? I hope it is. First of all, I would like to thank you and your family for allowing me to stay at your house in Sidney. It's the first time I'm doing such a thing and I'm really nervous. I've been to nine countries already, but this is my first time in Australia!

I know I'll be staying for more than two months, but in my opinion, it isn't a lot of time. There are a lot of things I would like to do, but I know that it is impossible. Above all, there's one thing that I would like to do for sure: I want to improve my English as much as possible. I don't care about the accent, because I mix both American and British accents, so I don't mind adding the Aussie! As you can see, my English isn't the best, but I'll try to meet your expectations.

Since this doesn't require an "specific time" because we'll be talking all the time, there are many things I want to do if you don't mind. I would love to visit the Opera House, sightsee, surf, dive, pet a koala, see kangaroos and emus... In addition, meeting your friends would be great (if you don't mind, of course).

I can't wait for January to arrive! It is kinda cool that I'll wear summer clothes in winter, but you're used to it, so I'm sorry if this sounds weird.

See you soon!
Paula
