Hello Stephanie,
  How are you? I’m very well. I came in London two weeks ago for to study at a language school. I want learn english because is a very important language. I’m stay with a English family. They have two son and a daughter. Mr. Oliver is teacher and Mrs. Day work in a hospital. The English is very kind, but they speak very quickly!
I study in the morning. My teahers name is Teacher Ann. She said me that my English is ok, but I do a lot of mistakes. Teacher Ann don’t give us too much homework, so in the afternoons I go always sightseeing. London is much more big than my town. I like very much painting and I’m interesting for modern art, so I visit galleries and museums. I’ve met a boy named Jose. He came from Spain and go to trinity college. Last night we go to the cinema, but the movie wasn’t exiting.
  Do you like to visit me? Why don’t you come for a weekend?
Love, 
Katie.
