Hi, Albert, how are you doing? I’m writing this letter to inform you that
right now I am moving to Mexico City. At the moment I am renting a nice
apartment. It isn’t very expensive. There is only one bedroom, a kitchen
and a living room. I like my apartment it’s small but nice. My neighbors are
nice and polite. There are some shops. There is a nice church and a big
park. I walk my dog at night. “Tolly”, my dog is sleeping in the apartment
right now. I am looking at many people here. Lots of people are going to
work. Some people are going by metro and many others are going by bus.
My boss is going to the office by car and I am going by bus.
Albert, You have to come and visit me. My neighborhood is friendly, there
aren’t bars or night clubs, people here are very quiet and polite , but my
sister, Elsa is living in a difficult neighborhood. There are many bars and
clubs and it’s difficult to sleep at night. My neighborhood is quiet but not
boring. There are nice café shops and the cake and coffee is good. There
aren’t any banks so we have to go to Soriana to use the ATM’s. That isn’t a
big problem because Soriana is 2 blocks across my apartment. If you want
to go to a library, there are two good libraries near. One is located on
Insurgetes Avenue. You can walk straight three blocks from my place and
you can find interesting books to read. If you want to exercise . You just
walk straight three blocks, turn left and you can find a nice and clean gym.
At the moment I’m not going to the gym because I have to do many
pendings in my place, bit next month, I can go happily.

I hope you can come and visit me, we can hang out with my friends, they
are cool and polite. Tom is studying engineering, Susan is studying law and
Wendy is studying medical school. They are great friends and students.
Right now they aren’t going to school because they are having school
vacation.
Do you enjoy bread? Great!! me too!! Well,there are two great bakeries in
the neighborhood and the bread is fantastic. If you like beef or chicken,
don’t worry, there are good butchers to buy good beef or chicken.

Well, bro , I have to go, right now I am writing an essay for my English
class. Miss Lucy Montes is teaching me and other classmates on Saturday
and Sunday. I am learning, but the English pronunciation is hard. My
teacher is very picky and is correcting us all the time. We have English
Evaluations every class. She checks Grammar, Listening, Pronunciation and
Speaking. Right now I am listening to her pronunciation audio and
repeating the words correctly.
Ok, bro, I have to go. Have a great week and come and visit my apartment,
you will love my neighborhood.
Write soon,
Sandy
