Hi,
I´m so excited about visiting you!
You are right! It will be my first time flying in my own but, I won´t be worried because I´m not escared about planes. I don´t like so much long flights so I will bring with me my Ipad and a good book. However I will take my teddy bear.
Can I help you in your school proyect? I will have many homework to do but I would like to do all in a day. Then I will have many free time.
During my visit I would like to go camping and swimming on the beach. Do you like the idea?, do you think that your mother will take us? I hope so.
Do you want something from Spain? I can bring you what you want.
Don´t be worried I will not forget my passport.
Take care, see you soon.

Hi David,
Well done for answering all the questions, however you need to read the instructions more carefully. You had to say that you *do* have homework. You should also look at the letter to guide you, for example you wrote,
“I’m so excited because we will see next summer.”
In the letter, it says: “I’m so glad you’re allowed to visit me this summer.”
As the summer is still in the future, you can use ‘this summer’ with the future simple.
In the same sentence, you need to write what we will see…
“I’m so excited because we will see ______ next summer.”
Remember: want= I would like, won’t= I will not
When you are making a request, you have to change the word order:
“Ok you can come at 17:30…” = “Ok *can you* come at 17:30…”
an= and
actionfigures= action figures
I hope this makes sense! Good effort! 🙂

Be careful with how you use commas. When you are answering questions, you should give the general answer and stop. Then, you should give more detail in an explanation.
“Yes, I am so excited. I have been waiting since I was ten.”
In general, this is a very good piece of work and you have used all the different tenses correctly. Well done! 🙂

Good job on answering all the questions. I would like to see more tenses, for example: conditional, present perfect, present continuous.
Remember to change the spelling of ‘jaja’ as this will sound strange to English speakers!
Also, remember the difference between ‘too much’ and ‘so much’. ‘Too much’ means that there should be less of something.

Hi Berta,
Good job, you answered all the questions! However, I would like you to include more tenses: future simple, present perfect, conditional.
Make sure you check your spelling before submitting:
excitated = excited
plain= plane (the transport)
turist= tourist
Remember that in English, we don’t like to use ‘of’ too much.
homework of english= English homework
Also, we always use capital letters when we write about languages. English, Spanish, etc.
Finally, when you are writing ‘to’ + verb, the verb has to be the base form:
I am so excitated and nervous to visited me this summer= I am so excited and nervous to *visit*…
Check the subject of the sentence!
I am so excited and nervous to visit me= I am so excited and nervous to visit *you*

Hi Alicia,
This is very well planned email with lots of different tenses. I like your different suggestions for activities, although I am confused about 64?
Remember for this sentence, “I will take some board games with me too because maybe it rains” it is using the 1st conditional.
Normally, you would say “If it rains, I will take some board games.” but you can change it to “I will take some board games with me too if it rains”
To sound more natural, you can also say “”I will take some board games with me too in case it rains”
In general, excellent work! 🙂

heve= have

rubik= a Rubik’s cube (it is the name of a company, so it needs a capital letter and the full title)
Grammar:
You need to revise when we use present continuous. There are lots of opportunities to use it here!
“I am so excited about *seeing* you…”
“Thank you for *emailing* me…”
Also you need to revise the use of the conditional “would”. We use this with an activity that isn’t certain.
“I would see you at the airport” means, this is something that I want to do, but I might not do it… as I’m sure that you do want to meet Jo at the airport, you should use the future simple:
“I will see you at the airport.”

Practice stretching your sentences a little more and giving specific examples is a great way to do this!
Remember if you are using the future tense that you are consistent. Take note of the following corrections:
Grammar:
“I think that I won’t be so scared in the plane” –> I DON”T think I WILL be scared ON the plane.
“I’m with people” –> I WILL BE with people (you can talk about the people you will be with; maybe people you know?)
