favorites, although I rarely go out with casual clothes.

for the shirts, also I always use jeans because they are comfortable and
combine with everything.

Now, write Juan Carlos an email that includes information about you, your
country and life in general there. Your email should have between 100 and 120
words.

Dear Juan Carlos.

I hope you are very well, my family and I send you greetings from a distance but
you should know that we hope to see you soon.

As you know that I am close to graduating, I am already in the ninth semester, I

am missing two subjects and finally I can graduate, the time passes very fast
and it seems that it was yesterday when you decided to travel to Toronto,
Canada to study. In these five years, many things have happened, good and
bad, but in spite of everything I try to be optimistic and happy, where my
happiness is complete when I start to travel, to know new places and above all
to do what I like the most, Geology.
 
Last month, for example, I was in an underground gold mine which is a large
company with experienced mining personnel. I also had the opportunity to go to
a conference in Chile to the largest copper mine "Chuquicamata" is incredibly
beautiful all the landscape surrounding this mine since it is in the desert. I met
many friends colleagues who are also very passionate about geology, although
I wanted to continue knowing more places, I already return to school I hope in
my next vacation to know a true paradise for geology as it is the Galapagos
Islands, this place is one of your favorites

I will be counting the days, so from now on I will begin to coordinate everything
for that magnificent trip, the excursion team will be ready. Will you accompany
me ...?

Greetings from my brothers and my best wishes to you, dear friend.

See you soon, take care…!!
