An e-mail to a friend.

Hello Luana,
Long time no see. How have you been? How's life there in Uberlândia? I guess we won't see each other for a while now that you moved to your father's place. At least the internet is available to us whenever we want to get connected.
I bet you guys are getting along well. I remember you once told me that you'd rather live with your father than with your Mom.
I'm pretty sure you enjoy your new job a lot. What is your office like? What about your workmates?
I am still working many hours a day but things here couldn't be better.
When I pass by your old house on my way to work it reminds me of us chatting on the porch about boyfriends and hang outs. I miss you, girl!
Speaking of boyfriends, how's your love life? Mine is great. Unfortunatelly my man and I don't have much time to see each other now that he is studying. I know he will be the greatest web designer.
Guess what? I'm trying to get my driver's licence. I can't wait to drive my car!
Well, I had better go now. I have got lots of homework to do.
Write me soon.

  1. Hello Luana,
    Long time no see. How have you been? How's life there in Uberlândia? I guess we won't see each other for a while now that you moved(VT) to your father's place. At least the internet is available to us whenever we want to get connected.(where? how is this related to the previous sentence?)
    I bet you guys are getting along well. I remember you once told me that you'd rather live with your father than with your Mom.(why does Mom take a capital M whereas father doesn't take a capital F?)
    I'm pretty sure you enjoy your new job a lot. What is your office like? What about your workmates?
    I am still working many hours a day but things here couldn't be better.
    When I pass by your old house on my way to work it reminds me of us chatting on the porch about boyfriends and hang outs(SP). I miss you, girl!
    Speaking of boyfriends, how's your love life? Mine is great. Unfortunatelly(SP) my man and I don't have much time to see each other now that he is studying. I know he will be the greatest web designer.

  2. Thank's a lot! ^ ^

    Let me try to correct my mistakes:

    *you have moved(?)

    *Since I won't see you, at least I can talk to you through the internet.(?????)

    *And, it's Father and Mom, both with capital letter(I'm kidding, father and mom)hangouts, unfortunately and license.

    You're an awsome teacher Robson, I hope my classmates comment on my post too.

    See ya!

  3. Let's see.

    <> Not needed (you've already said this in the previous sentence.

    Going back to the previous sentence, it would possibly be more natural to say, "I guess we won't be seeing...".

    There's another thing about "father and mom": I wouldn't say it's wrong, but it lacks parallelism. Maybe you should look it up, but I believe "father and mother" is more common (try Google Fight, just for fun).

    Another common expression in some contexts is "Mom and Pop", as in "Mom and Pop store" or "mom-and-pop business".

    IHTH

    See you later.
