Email informal- where to live in Spain

Esto es un email informal entre amigos, uno espaol y otro ingls. El amigo ingls
quiere venir a Espaa y le pregunta por email a su amigo, que vive en Espaa,
consejos. Como se trata de un texto informal, hay que usar lenguaje informal, se
pueden usar contracciones, a diferencia de los textos formales. Si quieres
contrastar ambos registros, formal e informal, te recomiendo que veas las cartas
de queja en ingls, que son formales y compares ambos textos.
En rojo vamos a poner los errores, que los corregir escribiendo lo correcto entre
parntesis, en verde las estructuras fijas que debemos emplear ante este tipo de
textos y en azul las cosas buenas, tanto de vocabulario (porque sea adecuado
para el nivel) como de gramtica, que le dan nivel y calidad al writing.

Hi John,
How are you? Im very fine. Omar told me that you are going to move (are
moving) to Spain.
I have lived (lived) in Madrid for two months, but now Im living in Alicante. Its a
good place to live and I found my job very fast.
If you want to live with me, youll have a bedroom in my flat, because when I went
to England I stayed in your home for a month.
Im proud of meeting you, because you helped me when I was in England
and If (if) I didnt meet you, I wouldnt find (if I hadnt met you, I wouldnt have
found) a job there.
The Spanish food is healthier than England food, so I think suit you for your too
many kilograms ??? (itll be good for your health)
As everyone knows here, the weather on (in) summer it is very hot
and on (in) winter it isnt very cold.
In my opinion the best way of learning Spanish is to talk with (to) a native Spanish
and you dont have to be embarrassing(embarrassed) when you speak in Spanish.
I hope youll telephone me as soon as you arrive to in Spain.
All the best,
Jose.
