Working to help the sea turtles.

Dear Esmeralda

Hello! How are things? I’m here working to help the sea turtles for this week, where I’m working this summer is in a project conservation in Cancun, Mexico and It’s very fun!.

This project conservation is important because we help to save  the sea turtles. You probably think that all we do here is work to help the sea turtle, but it isn’t like that at all! Yesterday we went to the beach to collect trash for recycling and make things to collect money. We also organize many activities like  cooking a barbecue grill and going on a nature hike. We’ve already helped to save 30 sea turtles only in one day, it’s fantastic! 

The best part about this project conservation is that we helped the endangered species, to protect the environment and that continue reproducing the sea turtles. Really I’m very happy and I’m proud of doing this for the turtles.

I hope you’re having a great summer, too. Write back when you get a chance.

All the best,

Adara.

Dear Paul,

Hello, how are you?  I’m having a great time here in Chiapas ! We’re staying in the hotel ; it’s by the sea. The hotel room is very large and the weather is excellent !

Yesterday , we were to “El cañon del sumidero”. It’s very surprising and beautiful. The only awful  thing is that the boat was too fast and I was afraid also the day was very sunny and I got sunburned on my face and shoulders. Today,  we’re going to “San Cristobal de las casas”. Later, we’re going to Las Cascadas de Agua Azul in the municipality of Tumbala.

Tomorrow , we’re going to visit Palenque city. It’s famous for the archaeological site of Palenque I’m really impressed for the pyramids.

Well, I must go now. We’re meeting to eat in the in the hotel restaurant.

Dear Angie

Guess what! I am at Cancun Mexico. It’s beautiful here.

Tomorrow I am going to visit places at Cancun like the largest underwater sculpture park! These sculptures are of life – size and they are representations of the local people and animals. I am taking a bus from Cancun to a stunning beach at Cancun where I’II take a boat toward a coral reef and also I’ll see the sea creatures and scuba dive near of them.
The sculptor made the statues to attract sea creatures and make people think about the environment.

I’ll definitely have a great time. I can’t wait.

See you.

An informal e-mail of advice

 

Hi Matt,

I´m sorry to hear that you´re having problems with your roommates. I think I can help you!
Why don’t you talk about this with your roommates? This way, you can explain how you feel and make them realize there is a problem, they can try to be quieter. Maybe they don’t know that you´re upset. You should also decide on a house rule like “no noise after 9 pm”. Then, you know you can always study and sleep after this time.
I really hope my advice helps! Write back and tell me what happens.

Adara.
