Informal Writing 3

Hola Señora,

¡Voy a ir a Guatemala! Estoy muy emocionada. Voy en el verano, después de la graduación. Pilotará con mis abuelos y llegáramos en Guatemala a las ocho de la noche. En Guatemala, vamos a visitar las selvas para el día primero. Las selvas tienen muchas flores bonitas, animales silvestres, y insectos muy guapos. Sacará fotos para tu. También, visitáramos el capital de Guatemala en el día segundo. Pero, Guatemala es un poco corrupto, y no tienes líderes buenos. Las personas en la ciudad no tienen derechos y están tristes porque el gobierno es malo. En Guatemala, queremos comer la comida de Guatemala también. Algunos de la comida son Arroz Guatemalteco, Frijoles Negros Volteados, y Bunuelos. Quiero visitar la iglesia en Guatemala y ver la ceremonia diferencia. Soy muy interesado en la cultura. Le escribirá todos las experiencias en Guatemala y te dará todos. ¡Hasta Luego!

Tu Amigo,
Kristina
