EXERCISE: Write a e-mail for an Erasmus student that will come to your town Dear Mark, How are you? Firstly I'm so glad for your e-mail, I also did an Erasmus project and it was a fantastic experience. Moreover Perugia is a very beautiful city put on the top of a hill!

EXERCISE: Write a e-mail for an Erasmus student that will come to your town

Dear Mark,
How are you? Firstly I'm so happy to have received your e-mail, I also did an Erasmus project and it was a fantastic experience. Anyhow, (moreover is not a widely used word in the english language, and it wasn't a correct word for what you are trying to say) Perugia is a very beautiful city sitting (you could use built or set also) on the top of a hill! You can see the stunning/amazing/beautiful landscape from the city centre.
I would like to give you some more (as you have already given some information about the city) information: Perugia is a student city and, the student life (no comma required in this sentence)is fantastic! Downtown (or - The city centre) is full of bars, pubs and restaurants where you can have dinner or a beer with your friends. The cost of living is not very high!
There is a student hostel in which you can stay, it's not far from the city centre (or - it is close to the downtown area) 
The University is good, with some excellent Professors and lot of students, however the buildings are a little bit old.
Waiting for your reply. Bye for now.
Michele

Great job Michele! 

 

Some suggestions for review are: 

 

-Using articles: In English we use less much less than in romance languages like Spanish and Italian... For example in Spanish you would say fui al centro but in English you would simply say I went downtown.

 

-The difference between can and could: This is a tricky concept because the difference between these words are very subtle.

 

but here is how they would be uses:

 

I can go to the cance on Sunday (Meaning I can and I will go).

I could go to the dance on Sunday or I could stay home (this expresses a level of uncertainty-- meaning going to the dance is an option but I may not do it).  This use of the word could is the English version of the subjunctive tense. 

 

I hope you found this helpful!

 

Keep up the good work!
