informal writing #3

¡Hola Señora Nunes!

Yo acabo de llegar a Rome, donde voy a participar en un programa de intercambio. El viaje fue bueno y cansado! Me llegó a Rome a las dos de la tarde. La familia con quien me voy a quedar es muy divertida y esta cuidando. En la familia, son tres hijos y dos hijas. Yo tomará los cursos de español, matemáticas, ciencias, y historia de Tierra. Voy a hacer excursiones de otras ciudades de España. Soy muy interesado sobre las excursiones. Esta bien, voy a escribir una carta para tu en otra día. Adiós señora.

Hasta luego,Rizal

El articulo sobre voces de la paz. Este un día internacional de la paz en Colombia. Los colombianos les gustan preventar violencias en las comunidades y mejorar sus vidas. En la ceremonia del día internacional de la paz, el secretario toca la compara de la paz. La ceremonia celebra en 21 de Septiembre. Antes de ceremonia, el secretario pronuncia un mensaje de paz y pide que se guarde un minuto. Por concluido, los dos artículos son similares cuando sobre paz.
