Hey María José,
How are you? I hope you are doing well. Well the assignment are teacher has assigned us to write to you about is about the city I live in. Well I live in San Mateo and I love San Mateo. San Mateo is a quiet and calm city. San Mateo is not big but it is not small either. It is about 15 minutes fronm San Francisco. I think you would enjoy San Mateo because it’s a city that is beautiful and relaxing. There are many places that i’m sure you would like. Well what do ou think about the your hometown? Do you think I would like it? I hope to hear from you soon and write back as soon as possible. BYE.

I’m not really sure what to consider my hometown since I’ve moved around a lot. I guess I’ll have to say it’s San Francisco since I was born there and lived there for the longest. San Francisco is really busy, it’s the city. There are huge buildings in one part which is called downtown where theres smelly streets, great shopping, and lots of people, I love it! Then there’s other parts with houses and little shops like in Noe Valley. I love it there too! I love the city overall everything about it. You’d probably enjoy it because it’s such a diverse city. There are so many different unique people who live in the city and it’s great being one of them. There’s also always something to do in the city so you’ll never get bored. You can go shopping which is my favorite, eat at great restaurants, take tours around the city, go to the movies, or just walk around the city. It’s neverending possibilities in the city.

Hello again!

As I have told you before, I live in San Mateo, California. It is a moderately small, suburban city. We have a great mall here. At the moment, a Coach store will be coming soon. You can do many things, such as go to the movies theatre, shop around in the clothing stores in downtown San Mateo, go bowling, go ice skating, or just try some of the great foods in the various restaurants we have. We have a park, called Central Park, here, which has a very peaceful Japanese Tea Garden (which is full of different plants, koi fish, and a pond) and a beautiful rose garden. I really like it here, since the weather is usually very moderate. A great temperature change for us would be 5 degrees Fahrenheit! I must admit the weather currently has a been a little strange (it rains and turns sunny on and off again), but usually, the weather is good. Then, if you want to go to a bigger city, San Francisco is a small drive away. You can visit Chinatown and buy great Chinese food and small fans, necklaces, purses, and much more from the shops. You could also shop at the large Macy’s; they have one floor dedicated entirely to women’s shoes!

I have grown up in this area for all of my life, and I’ve had a lot of fun here.
