C Wow! You now know so much about Peru! Your friend Jordan, however, knows nothing about it. In a few months, his family
is going on a tour of Spanish-speaking countries, including Peru and other South American countries. He has asked you to
help him learn more about those places before his trip. His first trip is to Peru.
Write Jordan a three-paragraph letter in English, and compare Peruvian culture and American culture, especially in terms of
foods, sports, transportation, population, and demographics. How is your culture similar to Peruvian culture? How is it
different? Use a lot of details to help Jordan prepare for the trip, and have fun! You can use the CultureGram link to get
ideas and information. (5 points per paragraph)
Before you write, take notes on these questions to help you think of what to tell Jordan
1) What are the three most interesting things you have learned about Peru?

2) What are three aspects of Peruvian culture that are similar to the United States?

Dear Jordan.

Greetings from Peru! it is a pity that you were not able to come with us, because Peru is a beautiful, admirable place, with great food and people are extremely requested. I am writing this letter to tell curiosities about this country and maybe increase your desire to visit it.

Firstly, I want to inform you that Peru has the largest sand desert in the world, the place is very beautiful and I took great pictures, which I am anxious to show you, it is even possible to "snowboard" in the desert, but using the sand in the snow place. Oh, I can't stop talking about delicious and healthy food, with lots of fresh products ... lots of potatoes. There are millions of different potatoes here, which surprised me, but not as surprised as knowing that Spanish is not the only language spoken in the country, since there are more than 13 native languages.

Peruvians are very different from us North Americans. This is because they are very friendly and warm, they like to hug, discuss and give the famous "besitos" to those they know. This human contact is very cultural and important for Peruvians. I was surprised at first, but soon got used to it.

In addition, they like to raise issues with unknown people. Whenever I took public transport, someone would come and talk to me and they didn't care that my Spanish was not perfect. They were all very helpful and friendly.

I would like to spend more time here, but soon I will be back at my home, I hope to meet you and tell you more about my trip.

With love,

Y.L.
