Hi mom.

How are you? I am very well here in New York. After two months of moving to USA with my
husband I start to speak English more fluently. My husband Erik found a good job here; he is a
software developer in a big company. In this letter I will tell you about New York, my house,
and our routine here.
New York is a unique city. A vibrant city, in constant movement, full of life, with many
beautiful places to visit, such as Central Park, which is a place full of lakes, viewpoints, statues
and gardens. New York is the largest city in the United States and there are many inhabitants.
The climate of New York is very cold in winter and very warm in summer.
My house is cozy. I don’t have great luxuries but it is comfortable. In my house there are three
bedrooms, there are two bathrooms, there is a small kitchen and there is a beautiful living room.
Here there is a car to go where you want when you come. There is a supermarket on the corner
of my house, there is a church in front of my house and near here there is a museum behind the
supermarket.
About my daily routine, every day I go to the school. I work as a teacher. I really enjoy my job.
After that, I go to the park with my dog and do exercises. Then, I eat a snack with my husband.
He is always working in the company, but during the nights, he is at home. Every Saturday, we
go to the church and on Sundays we go to different restaurants. On vacations, we love to travel,
for that, we hope to visit you.

See you soon!

I love you.
