PEN PAL PROJECT

Estamos muy emocionados porque esta mañana hemos conocido a nuestros pen pal friends de Estados Unidos. Nos ha encantado descubrir cómo se llaman y ver las fotos que nos han enviado, pero sobre todo nos ha gustado leer las cartas personalizadas que han escrito para nosotros. 

Es la primera carta que recibimos de ellos y casi no sabemos cómo son, qué les gusta, cuál es su color favorito... Así que nos hemos puesto manos a la obra y hemos comenzado a redactar la carta que vamos a enviarles (en inglés).
