Nai Nai’s shop

Hi, Chen!
Thanks for your email and the pictures of Nai Nai’s shop. Here in Chinatown there is a similar shop
but it is smaller. I am attaching some photos of the things you can buy there. Look at the picture!
I bought it for my mum yesterday. It is older than the picture in Nai Nai’s shop. And it is more
expensive, too. Do you like it? Mum loved it! And look at the dress! It’s a present for my younger
sister. It is more beautiful than the dress in Nai Nai’s shop. And it is more colourful, too.

I hope you like the photos! When are you coming to Buenos Aires?
See you soon.

John
Let's meet soon!

Hi John,
I’m so happy you are in Spain. When did you get to Spain? Come to my house this weekend! We can
go to one of the most important places in Valencia, the Aquarium. It is a beautiful place. I think it is
the most beautiful place in my area. Many tourists visit it every month. Well, to be honest, it is my
favourite place.
Dad has some free tickets for the Aquarium and we can go together. This Aquarium is the biggest
in Europe. I like the red coral, the Giant Spider Crab and the white sharks. They look scary and
everybody says that they are really dangerous. I also like the dolphins. Some have names, but I
don’t remember them. The dolphins are the most popular animals in the Aquarium. I love them!
Well, we can also visit the Alhambra or Red Palace. It is one of the oldest constructions in Spain.
Which of the two places would you like to visit?
Phone me or write to me soon.
Hugs,
Jeremías
