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
