Hi everybody!
Hello we are participants I am kenyury Camacho I am from France I am 22 years old
yeremi is from brazil and 24 years old Steffany is from California Mexico and she is 25
years old, France is one of the largest countries in Europe, it has a natural beauty, a
climate delicious is also known worldwide for its cusine and wines. Brazil is the largest
country in South America, possessing a unique folklore and the most important carnival in
the world. California Mexico in the extreme northeast of Mexico is located peninsula of
Baja California by the zul del mar and the pleasant climate California is synonymous with
rich wine, gastronomy, we are friends about 6 monthe ago we met through this website
“friends for correspondence” we got along very well since we all have the same dream,
which is to learn to speak English and learn about different cultures.

Let us talk about the experience of being pen pals. We have different times zones, so we
have planned a schedule once a week to have video calls through hangouts, and we have
prepared different topics to talk about (adoption, advice, aging, aliens, etc). In addition,
we have a WhatsApp group and every night we love to tell our pals about our day, and
send audios and pictures about interesting things we found during the day. Every week,
one member of the group sends the activities we should do to improve our English skills: a
book to read, a song to memorize, a tongue twister to record and send to the group. You
cannot imagine how much our English has improved. Now, we can understand movies and
songs in English, and we speak more fluently in English.
When we knew about the challenge suggested by the "pen pals in funny letters" website,
we started to read about Canada and we really enjoyed its culture. You must know many
things before traveling to this interesting country. First, you must not call them
“Americans” because they are so proud of their country and they are Canadian. When you
use public transportation, you shouldstand on the left or right of the doors and wait to see
if anyone is departing before getting on it. Also, you must try the maple syrup because the
maple tree represents Canada in many ways. If we win this challenge, we are going to visit
the Niagara Falls. They have an assortment of entertaining options for all ages (camping,
golfing, shopping, cruises, museums, theatre and live music).We are going to visit all the
amazing landmarks in Toronto as the CN Tower,the Royal Ontario Museum,the Art Gallery
of Ontario and the Bata Shoe museum, and eat in one of its best restaurants called
"Richmond Station". We want to win this challenge to know more about the Canadian
culture and to improve our English skills.

Best regards,

Patricia, Angela and Ximena.
