Hello Karl!

I hope you are doing well. I am happy since I took part in my school's annual talent show and it was great. Let me tell you about it.

You know how I love playing my guitar, well I decided to play We will rock you by Queen with it because it is my favorite song. But to make it more interesting, I played the harmonica simultaneously with my guitar.

I knew that playing two instruments at the same time wouldn't be easy so, for two months, I practiced every day. The hardest part was the harmonica since I didn't have much experience with it.

When the day came, I remember that they called my name. I put my feet on the stage and played the song. As soon as the audience heard the song, they started to clap and sing along.  I won the competition. The experience taught me that I could get what I want by working hard and do things with passion.

Tell me if you had had any similar experience.

See you!

Molino.

Explanation:

When we write a letter to a friend, we use an informal style throughout the letter.

The letter should have an introduction, where we tell our friend why we are writing, a body, where we develop the topic in detail, and lastly, we make a closing sentence, say our goodbyes, and sign the letter.

In the body, we have three paragraphs, one for every aspect that we want to describe. In the first paragraph, we tell our friend what we performed in the talent show, explaining why we choose to play that song. In the second paragraph, we describe our preparation. We said how long we practice, our biggest problems, and the frequency of our practice. In the third paragraph, we describe the talent show. That is to say, how we perceived the experience, how the audience reacted, and what we learned from that talent show.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
