FCE: Informal letter

Task: informal letter to a friend (from Flo-Joe- FCE task of the week)- você vai para a Inglaterra por seis meses para estudar inglês, por isso pede ajuda ao teu penpal sobre curso, trabalho e outras coisas que pretende fazer enquanto estiver por lá.
Nunca escrevi uma carta informal em inglês, é igual a tentar fazer um suco de laranja com laranja seca, sem suco. Não rende. Por favor, corrijam para mim.

Dear Tricia,

Thank you very much for your letter. I really appreciate your offer in helping me during my staying in England.

I’ve always wanted to go to England to improve my English, but just now I’ll be able to fulfill my dream. There are many things which I would like to do while being in the land of the queen. I think first, I am going to get a paying part-time job so that I can cover the costs of my staying there. I was wondering with you could give me some advice on how to write a CV in English.

After getting a job, what I want to do is studying English in a language school. If I could trouble you for one more favour indicating to me a good and trustable language school, I would be grateful to you for your help.

During the weekends, I was wondering if you could go along with me to do some sightseeing. I know it’s a lot to ask but could you help me with all that things?

Anyway, I’d like to meet you when I get in London. I am eagerly waiting for the day of my departure. Well, that’s all for now. Do write back as I’m waiting for the news from you.


Best wishes,

Ana
