Reading and writing "real" informal emails!

# data[].attributes.body
Our exchange students, Alba and Gabriel, have given us the opportunity of writing and reading real emails instead of imaginary ones.
I think that writing tasks for 1st Bachiller students are much cooler this way, aren't they?

It´s me, Sergio! I´m writing you from Spain. How are you? How is your life in Austria? Here, in the high school everything is ok, we enjoy our math’s classes and we are so bored in physics. How about your subjects in your new school?

This year, we’re going to go on a study trip to Paris.  I think that France is a beautiful country so I think it’ll be a extremely funny trip. How about you? Are you going to visit another country?  And, do you like Austria?

We miss you so much in class. Tell me about your new friends. How was your reception? Did you have a warm welcome? Do you miss us?

Please write soon! I wait your answer.

All the best

Sergio

I'm Yaiza! How are you? I'm writing to you to know if you are having a good time... I think that you are learning a lot of things from Austria and improving your English too. I know it's weird to be away from home for so long and more in a country that you do not know anything about. But for what you tell us by skype and the photos of instagram it seems that you are having a good time. In addition I think that the best memory of this experience is that you took the "murallina crew" internationally to Austria ... Finally maybe you can bring to us things we can improve about our classes and in our school, because you are in one that has a lot of things as you said it before in the email. So, you can take notes and come here with energy to continue with the normal routine. Kisses from asturias!!

Telva here! I was just wondering how things were going for you in Belgium.

How are you doing? Is your family nice with you? Have you made any friends? How are things different there from here? I really think you're having an extremely good time, just let me know!

Here in Spain we miss you so much! I really miss spending breaks with you. Now we're organizing a video for Halloween, I'd love you to be on it! Anyway, I think this is a great experience for you, not everyone has this opportunity. Let me know when you're able to do Skype with me, it'd be amazing!

All the love,

Telva xxxxx

It´s me, Silvia! As I haven´t seen you since September, I have decided to write you. How are you?

Your family told me, that you´re very well with your new family. I think that it must be extremely difficult to communicate with them, at least at first. Did you get used to the food? Do you miss anything from Spain?

What time do you usually get up? I know that you told me once that you went to your high school by bike, but I think it´s rather dangerous when it rains. As you don´t understand their language, the classes must be really difficult for you, but I am sure that the teachers will help you.

Anyway, I must dash. Time to study, but we can speak on WhatsApp when you can. Keep in touch!

All the best!

I miss you, XX

PS: remember we are here, come back!!

How are you? Do you like the country? Do you have new friends there? Do you miss your family and friends?
Here nothing has changed, just that we have different subjects now. We've already done some exams and we are going to do more next month. We miss you so much and we want you to come back soon, but until then, have fun there!

How are you? Is everything going well? I hope so. Do you like the country? Which places have you visited? How's the school? Which subjects do you study? Do you like them? And what about the family, are they nice? Have you made any friends?
Well, I think those are enough questions for one e-mail, I guess you are busy there with homework and extra work from the subjects here.

Here everything's fine but I miss you so much.
The classes are going well and some subjects are very interesting! But I miss going to class with some of my old classmates.
On the other hand, I'm so exited about the Christmas Festival we're preparing with Ana, the music teacher. We've got some pretty good ideas and I think it is gonna be awesome!

I'm looking forward to getting an e-mail from you telling me how is your life there and mabye even to hear some news.
We miss you and even though we know this is an incredible experience and that you are having a lot of fun, we want you to come back!

Take care xxoo,
Alba

Eva here, writing you from Spain! Since you’ve been living abroad for over a month, I suppose you are wishing to know how the things are going in your country.

I am glad to tell you that in the high school, we all are really excited about the trip to Paris!! You know, we’re going in January so it’ll be freezing. Well, after spending two months in Belgium it won´t  be difficult for you at all. Besides, we are preparing a Halloween contest, in which we have to take a scary picture or video related to that festivity. I think it’s quite interesting and fun, moreover we’ ve got some nice ideas to record it.

Let’s talk about your experience …Do you find any language barriers in your new country? I know you are learning Dutch,and English is spoken everywhere nowadays so, It’s  kind of a usual thing, I hope you don’t have misunderstandings. Of course there should be some differences between Spain and Belgium but you will come to terms with that, and the way of life is very similar I think.

Anyway, I must hurry up. It’s time to study for the exam. Here today is sunny, but maybe tomorrow it starts to rain, you know…! How is the weather there? I suppose it’s getting cold.

Kindest regards!

Eva xx

PS Enjoy your experience and make lots of friends!!

It's me Sergio!
Writing from spain!
I imagine that you're wondering how things are going.
You want to know, don't you?
Well, I'm happy to tell you that we're working well in class and the subjects aren't very difficult, the only thing I don't like is philosophy it's a bit hard but we can deal with it.
As you already know the school trip to Paris is already there, I hope you feel like going because I do! And we're going to pass it very well.
Anyway, lunch is ready and my mum's calling, so I must be going. She doesn't like waiting.
Please write soon!
I'd love to hear
from you.
All the best,
Sergio Busto

It's me, Paula! You've been abroad for a few weeks now, so I think It's time to ask you how your stay is.
Well, first I'll ask you about your host family. How is your relationship with them? and have you integrated into their daily routines?
Let's talk about your classmates now. Are they nice? and how many friends have you made?
I hope you are well, and on your return you tell us some anecdotes of your stay.
Kisses,
Paula.

It's me, Miguel! Writing from Spain! I want to know how things are going to you in Austria, I imagine that you have learnt a lot of things in this two weeks.

I know that it's sort of strange to be in another country and be away from your family and friends but I want you to tell me your experiences in Austria.Obviously Austria isn't very far from Spain but there are some language barriers because they don't speak Spanish and you don't speak German, you only can speak in English.Also I want to know some cultural differences between Spain and Austria

Of course I think that you are doing a lot of friends from Austria and I think Austria is a pretty place so you have to tell me how beautifull it is and you have to tell me if the food is delicious or you don't like it.

Now in Asturias it's raining, as every day.What's the weather in like in Austria at the moment?

All the best!

Miguel

It's me Manuel! I really want to talk to you, we haven't talked since you left. I want to know all the experiences that you have been living since you left, sure they are incredible!

I am very happy that you are enjoying your new life and your new nice family, but don't you mind having little space? I'm asking you because in the other letter you sent us you told us that you are a big family and that it was a small house.

Your school is pretty nice, probably better than ours, but your mates, are they better than us? It is very difficult. I think the worst thing about your experince is getting up early, If I had to do it, I would die!

Kisses

Manuel

PS I can't go to the trip to Paris, don't remind me that please...
