Homework
My English teacher sent me homework, I must imagine that I´m visiting another country and I should send an email to my family. Here´s my email:Hi, Well here I am in Brazil, I arrived in the morning and I am very excited to be here. I'm missing you already but I love this new experience. I´ve met a friend. She has tried Venezuelan food because I´ve cooked it for her and I´ve tried Brazilian food with her. We´ve already been sightseeing to Christ the Redeemer.
See you soon!

Hello Ali,
A nice email but a few mistakes, with adjectives the -ed form describes how you feel and the -ing form describes the effect something has on you. So 'I am excited because the trip is exciting.' Next you should use the continuous tense to say that you are missing someone as this is something which has started in the past and continues into the future.
In the last sentence you used the present perfect which is correct but you need to use 'been' rather than 'gone'. 'Been' means that you went but you have now returned, 'gone' means that you went and you have not come back yet. So your family will say 'Ali has gone to Brazil.' because you are still in Brazil. But you have been to Christ the Redeemer because you are now back at your hotel.
Hope this helps
Bob

= Not sure what you're trying to say OR doesn't make much sense
Your English is great! I understood everything, just try to be careful on your choice of tense (perfect vs preterite, as they are used differently in English to Spanish!) and remember we don't always use the definite article in English ('The' in English or 'el/la/los/las' in Spanish)
If you need more help (and you want to impress your English teacher ;) ) then let me know!
