Hi!
I’m really happy you are visiting next week!

Also, shall we go to the beach during the weekend?
See you soon,
John

Hi John,
I so happy to see you again,
You know me so well, both choices sound good, but I prefer try Japanese food, I always wanted to have sushi, and I think it will be the perfect time to do it.
As for going to the beach, I was just looking at the weather for next week and it shows it will rain all weekend. Would you like to go to a museum instead of going to the beach? Or we can stay at home playing board games.
Please let me know which plan you like better. I will be waiting for your answer.
See you soon.
Hi John!
It´s nice to see you one more time. I´m so excited to visit you,well you ask for the restaurant so if I have to choose i would choose the japanese, because i love the sushi it´s my favourite food and I think if you try you would like it.
Yeah, I have think about to the beach ,I´m sorry to say this but is going to rain this weekend so it could be a good idea going to the sport centre to play football, this plan it better than go to the beach this weekend.I´ll be waiting for you answer.
See you soon!
Hello, Jhon
I’m really happy to see you again, It seems We haven’t seen for a long time, I remember the last time We got together, we had to call off some activities, so in this time I hope to have more time to do more activities. On the other hand, Answering your question about the restaurant I prefer Chinese food because I could see the menú in the new restaurant which is nearby to the downtown and some of the dishes are not spicy, you know I can not put up with it, so I would like to try it with you. After that We can plan the trip to the beach, In the light of the weather of those days, We would look for some interesting places to visit, besides, We can also decide the activities to do and the lodging.
I Hope to see you soon, and I am looking forward to enjoy with you
Regards,

Hello John,
How are you doing?
I’m really excited to see you next week!
You are so lovely to search some new restaurants for me! I appreciate it a lot.
I think I prefer to go to the Chinese restaurant because I’m not really into sushi (raw fish is not my cup of tea).
Of course, it would be amazing to go to the beach too! It’s been too many years since I had enough time to simply relax at the seaside or having a bath at the ocean.
FYI I need to figure out how I will go to your town because my van is broken. Maybe I’ll rent a car. Do you think it’s a good idea or I should take a train?
See you on Monday!

Hi John!
It’s great to hear that you are happy because i´m going to visit you!
According to your first question, in my eyes a Chinese restaurant is better than a Japanese one as the food tastes better and the prices are cheaper.
Regarding your second question, I have to tell you that I can’t go to the beach because yesterday, my leg got broken so I can’t go. However, why not go to the cinema? I believe that there is a new film about a family of animals who moves to a big city.
Text me.
Best wishes,

hi Xiomi
I am good and you?
Going to a japonese restaurant is a great idea . And I always hate Chinese food . But I was thinking in ask you if my friend Mary could go with us to the restaurant.
You fall down the stairs! , why you did not say anything to me ! The idea of taking pictures is a good idea.
Yes I love going to museums and learning knew things but going to taht coffee is always a great idea , so what you want
See you in the japonese restaurant!
bye
el final no me gusta
Hi John, how are you doing?
You know me so well, I love trying new types of food. Personally I would like to go to the Japonese restaurant, I’m not a big fan of Chinese food to be honest, for this reason the japonese food is the best option.
Changing the topic, I cant go to the beach, I fall down the stairs last week and my arm is broken so I cant get into the water. But if you want, we can go and take pictures of the sunset together! It is a good idea, isn’t it?
I propose going to the museum, I know you love learning about the culture of the countries and so do I. By the way, I met a girl, whose parents have a coffee shop, and she invited both of us to go. It is not very expensive, so don’t worry about that, its on me.
Take care, see you soon!!

Hi John!
I’m so anxious to see you again too. I couldn’t sleep at night because I was thinking about the activities we can do in my visit.
As for the restaurants, I prefer the Japanese, I have gone to a lot of Chinese restaurants but never to a Japanese, maybe it would have most exotic food.
By the way, I can’t come with you at the beach, last week I fell down with my bicycle in the road and I have a big cut in my bag, I can’t be in the sun. Although, we can go shopping in a new shop that opened a month ago, it’s called «Dream to shop», people say it sells good clothes.
I can’t wait to be with you soon.
Kisses.

Hi John!
How are you doing? I’m pretty happy for my visit, too. It’s been a long time since the last time I saw you. Answering your question, I prefer Japanese food because I love sushi, you know that. Chinese food is also a good proposal, we can go to a Chinese restaurant when you visit Mexico, what do you think?
About the beach, I can’t go because I had an accident at work (nothing serious, don’t worry) and I have a cut in my leg. I propose to go to the new museum or the theater instead. Let me know what you prefer.
Kisses
Winnie

I find it’s amazing that we’re visiting chinese and japonese restaurants. However, I prefer go to the japonese restaurante, I love suchi and all of your food, it’s fantastic, variety, you can choose you what you want and the food is very delicious.
About going to the beach, I prefer go to the cinema, go to the museum or go to the cinema because I don’t go to the beach because I broke the arm and I can not get into the water, much less swim,
Jonh, what would you like to do during your visit here? What places would you like to visit? I can take you to a magical place, this place is surrounded by a lot of nature, you will love it, it is a nature reserve, it is in Cuenca. It is called the Cajas nature reserve.
See you soon.
Sandra
Hi John!
I’m really happy to see you too
I prefer to go to a Japanese restaurant because i like it better. I can’t go to the beach because I got a tattoo on my leg three days ago and I can’t mess it up, but we should to go to theather to see one of my friend’s movie, do you like it? or we could to go to stadium to watch a soccer game, would you like it, John?
Have a nice weekend,
See you soon,
Yilmer,
Hi John! I am so chuffed because I will see you again. I dream with that day. It have to told me good things about you, i imagine how you have to change. Concerning of the restaurant, i definitely would choose Japanese food, and you?
I can´t go to the beach ‘cause my skin is very sensitive, but I would like to spend that moment with you and make nice memories. Changing the topic, what are you doing? How do you are in football class?
John it is a pleasure for me talk with you, i’ll see you later, darling.
Por favor, en el caso de ver algún error tome la libertad de corregirme.
Hola Maria, espero que estes bien. Respecto a tu Writing lo único que he notado ha sido en la primera línea del párrafo, donde dices «I imagine how you have to change», creo que querías decir algo así como, «imagino cuanto debes haber cambiado».En este caso, en inglés sería «I can imagine how much you have changed» porque si no estarías diciendo, «me imagino como debes de cambiar» y no sería lo más correcto en este contexto. Espero haberte ayudado, un saludo 🙂

Hi John!
I’m soo exited I’ll go visit next week! Can’t wait!
I’d love it we could go to the japanese restaurant, I’ve been craving some sushi lately.
I think we should find something else to do intead of the beach, I came down with an agressive skin rash on my leg and salt water mignt make it worse, so sorry.
I’ll search for some fun activities for us to do on google, I´ll keep you posted!
Anyway, can’t wait to see you, it’s been a while. XOXO
Much love

Im so sorry because i cant go to the beach, im so very sick and the doctor recomends me stay sheltered, but i promise that next time i will take you to Salinas and i pay for all.
If you want, tell me activities that you would like to do in my city when you come.
See ya.
Hi Jibran
I am writing this email to tell you about some changes that have happened since you left. It’s been a year since the day you came to say goodbye to me. Since you left I have gone to your house 3 times to visit your mother, I like going there, since they treat me very well, however I miss you a lot, I miss when you came to my house every fifteen days and we went out to eat, to the cinema, to the park or we simply watched movies at home. I know you always call me but it’s not the same to go out to certain places and not have you come with me, my family always asks me about you, and like me, they miss you a lot. I send you a hug and don’t forget that I love you
Hi Jhon!
I’m happy to see you soon too!
From the options you gave me, I prefer the Chinese restaurant and enjoy the food with you, the Japanese food I already ate too much this past week with my mom.
Also, I’m so sorry but I can’t go to the beach because I’m a little sick and the wind can make me worse. Maybe we should do another activity like visit museums, supermarkets, or go for some morning walks and enjoy the activities in the parks near the house.
I’m counting the minutes to see you and have a great time, friend.

Hello Jonh!
I hope you are having a great day, I relation to your request, I can talk you that I prefer to go to the Japanese restaurant, nevertheless you and me could go the Chinese restaurant other day.
I relationt to the beach, I can’t go, due to I’m allergic to the sand and I had someone bad experience there, but we could go to the other places, maybe the mountain, mall or amusement park.
I hope my letter will be well received by you.
With love Stban.
Hello!
I am very excited to be able to visit this weekend.
I am so exciting that I want to try a new food, so I want to go a Japanese restaurant that’s why I want more go to a Japanese restaurant.
I love Chinese food so nice but I´d rather noodles and sushi.
I can’t go to the beach, because recently broke my leg and had to have a surgery. The doctor told him not to wet my leg.
We can go camping, visit a museum or go to the movies.
There is less to see each other.
XOXO your friend.
Hi John,
How are you doing? We haven’t seen for a long time, I am also exited to see you.
Well, about the food, i actually prefer the Japonese restaurant, I don’r really like Chinese food, and sushi is OK !
I’m sorry but I can’t go to the beach, every time I go, it doesn’t matter how protected i go, I finally get burned.
And the doctor has recomended me to not going.
But no problem, we can also go to the cinema! I’ve heard that the one in your city is really fun because it’s 3D.
Tell me if it’s okay for you!
Kisses,
Biel.
Hi John, how are you?, I’m good and so excited for my visit, I don’t see you since seven years ago.
Jhon, I prefer the Japanese restaurant , because I love the food of Japan, for example, I like the sushi and the blowfish.
Sorry Jonh , I don’t like the beach in this season, because probably there will have a lot of people in the beach. I Prefer an ice cream, because is summer, and I love the summer season. Or a another I propose you to listen Queen music, I love this band, and my favorite songs are:
Bohemian Rhapsody
Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy
Another Bites the Dust
Don’t Stop Me Now
Fat Bottom Girls
Crazy Little Called Love
Love of my Life
Under Pressure
Seven Seas of Rhye
Now I’m Here
And more songs, it was a pleasure talking with you, we’ll talk soon.
Hi John!
I can’t wait to see you next week!
I preffer going to a Chinese restaurant to going to a Japanese restaurant, because I can’t stand eating japanese food, it’s awful for me.
I’m afraid of I can’t go to the beach on the weekend, because I don´t have any swimsuit. Instead of going to the beach we can do other activities, I’m fond of going trekking, shall we go trekking? I’m convinced we’ll have more enjoyable time.
Get in touch soon!
Carlota
hi john,
i think that bouth ideas are incredible, but i see that there is more Japanese thtan Chinese, and they have like a place to play. I dont really think that i can go to the beach because i have some allergy from jellyfish and ii dont really like think that i have some sharks under me, but we can go to the montain if you want, or go to a party of a friend, tell me please and i will go
bye
Hello John,
Thank you for sending your email. I am very excited to meet you too!
I had never trying asian food before, so I don´t know which I choose, but I imagine both of them are delicious.
I don´t be able able to go to the beach, the physician told me what not to go.
Why don´t take a walk in the city center, instead.
Take care
Leticia
Hi
How are you? I am really excited to see you. I love trying new food and i have never tried these food, i think that i prefer Japanese restaurant.
No, i hate beach, i delight trying new challenges.
We can go to the shopping centre, walk by the river, we can meet with friends and we can have dinner together. How do you see it?
See you soon.
Amparo
Hi!
I’m so excited about my trip and also to see you and spend time with you. Thank you for suggesting restaurants for dinner. I’m okay with both choices, but if you want me to pick one, I would prefer the Japanese one.
I don’t think it would be a good idea for me to go to the beach because I have a small injury in my leg. Can we explore other places? Do you know any lively and affordable options? I love going to museums, or perhaps we could take a walk around the city.
Looking forward to seeing you in a few days.
Take care,
Marta
HI, JOHN
I AM VERY EXCITED BECAUSE IN A WEEK YOU ARE STAY WITH ME. ARE YOU GOING TO BRING ME SOMETHING? I PREFER TO EAT UK FOOD.
I WILL EAT THE FOOD CHINESE. I LIKE FOOD DO YOU PREFER? IN THE CENTER I KNOW THE RESTAURANTS.
I AM NOT GOING TO GO TO THE BEACH, BECAUSE THE WEATHER IS MODERATE. THE BEACH IS NOT A GOOD OPTION.
JUAN I BELIEVE THERE ARE OTHER BETTER ACTIVITIES, FOR EXAMPLE: WE ARE GOING TO VISIT THE SANTIAGO BERNABEU, THIS IS A GOOD OPTION. DO YOU LIKE FOOTBALL? I LIKED THE FOOTBALL.
THE OTHER OPTION IS TO VISIT THE PALACE OR THE PLAZA MAYOR IN THE CENTER OF MADRID AND THEN EAT A HAMBURGER AT CARL`S JR.
THE PLAN IS A GOOD IDEA. DO YOU THING CHANGE THE SOMETHING?
SEE YOU IN NEXT WEEK!!
VICTORIA.
Hi John!
How was this weekend? I´m very happy to visit you, I do not see in a long time in person because I only have contact is from online.
I think we can go to a Chinese retaurant or Japanese or A new retaurant of Italian food I don´t know If it’s one close of the house we can choose where we go.
Envelope going to the beach I prefer to go to museums, to the library, to the cinema, because I have broke one of my arms and I hurt my thigh and the doctor recommed me to not swim for a few moths I would like to swim but it hurts too much.And I was thinking If we visit your brother and your sister I will have a very question how are they .
with love and a hug

Hi John
I’m really happy to visit you too next week.
The two restaurants you chose sound great, I love Chinese food but I’ve never tried Japanese food, so I would like to go to Japanese restaurant and try some new food.
I don’t want to go to the beach because I was on the beach last weekend, I prefer to go for a walk around your city and I want to visit different tourist places, we can go shopping or to the cinema. Is that okay?
See you soon.
Love,
Camila
Hi John,
I’m very excited about seeing you, as it is a long time since we don’t see each other face to face.
I like Chinese restaurants the best, in fact, I’th rather go to the Japanese one, because as you said I like trying new things and I would prefer eating sushi(I love sushi).
Going to the beach is a great idea, we can swim, we can play volleyball, we can sunbathe…etc, but I have a better idea. We could go to the cinema and see a film, or we could go skiing in the mountains if you prefer.
See you soon,
Lucía
Hi John.
How are you mate?
Im a little bit nervous with the travel. I don’t like travel.
But I’m excited to taste the chinese restaurant because I like their rice and the chicken with lemon.
In the other hand I can’t go to the beach because I had a surgery in my knee and I can’t put in into the water, but we can go to the cinema to see a film and after go to the chinese restaurant.
I’m waiting your answer.
See you soon. Bye!
