A2 – Writing Emails

Subject: Hi from Spain
Hi Angelica
My name’s María Ascensión but you can call me María. I’m from Jaén but I live in Loja with my husband and our child. I’m a 36-year-old mine engineer but I’m currently unemployed, so I’m studying English for my job training.
I’m going to tell you more about myself. I have dark blonde hair and dark blue eyes. I’m tall and slim. I look like my mother. People tell us we are like sisters.
I think I’m friendly and sociable, a bit nervous, with a sense of humour, dynamic and adventurous. I get on well with most people.
In my free time I like going for a walk with my family, practising exercise, meeting friends for a coffee or going shopping. I love travelling and being in touch with nature, reading and listening to music, too.
Please write soon and tell me about you.
Best wishes
María

Hi Manuel,
My name is María del Carmen, but everyone calls me Mamen. I´m in 2nd B, in your English class. I´m from Huétor-Tájar, Granada, and I live with my husband and my kids. One year ago, I lived in Málaga. When I was eighteen years old, I went to study in this town, and I met my husband, Sergio. We lived and worked there but, when we had kids, we decided to move to Huétor-Tájar. In this town, I have a lot of family to help us and it’s a very quiet place. At the moment, I’m working for my family at home but I´m studying to get a job. This is a difficult challenge for me because I don´t have much time to do that. If I can’t get it, I’ll work on my own as a social worker. This is another challenge, but I think I can achieve it.
Now, I´m going to describe my physical appearance. I´m tall and quite slim. I have straight brown hair and brown eyes. I’m quite strong because I´m training very hard for the physical exam.
I think I´m a fighting person. I see the good things in a problem and my family and me fight to solve it. We love the little things and we live them as a big opportunity. Every day’s a new challenge and we try to overcome it.
Nowadays, I practise swimming and go to the gym. I love sport and I´m happy when I do some. In a few months, I’ll live in another house, and in my free time, I clean and furnish it.
Thank you for your attention. See you soon.
Regards,
Mamen
