Discussion
Do you often make spelling mistakes?
What words do you often spell incorrectly?
Yes, many times, some of the words I misspell are, how are you, how was your day, and what are we going to do, those are some
of the words I often misspell because I use them when I talk to my friends.
Write a message to a friend. Use the first message as an example.

Thank you for your massages. I can't wait for you to come to Colima. I am going to the airport with my father to pick you up on
Thursday. What time does your flight arrive?
I think you will like Colima. We live about 5 km from the city center, but there are buses that go into the city all the time. When
you are here there are lots of things we can do. We can go to the water park at the aquatic center, and we can go biking around
the Metropolitan National Park. If you like horror stories, we can also go see a movie. And of course, you will meet all my
friends, and we can play soccer together.
You should bring a sweater and a jacket. The weather here is usually cold and rainy.
See you on Thursday
