Letter to a Canadien friend

Hello:
My name is Eduardo, I´m 20 years old. My major is Medicine. I was told you´re from Canada, where abouts in Canada do you come from? Is it still snowing? I don´t know how much time you´ve been here in Mexico City or where in Mexico you`ve been, but let me ask you, honestly, in your opinion what is the most unpleasant feature of Mexico? And what do you think about the pleasant features? It is always good to know the point of view from a visitor because it could be more accurate.
Let me tell you what I enjoy here in the city. Friday and Saturday night life is fun, you can find almost kind of entertainment you want. If you need to chill out there are bowling alleys, pools, bar lounges and karaoke bars. In front of Bellas Artes, above the Sears building there´s a very good cafe where you can see part of the downtown from the 6 floors height. Inside the Polifurum (located near the metrobus station Poliforum in Insurgentes) there´s a theatre, a 70, 80 and 90´s music disco and a bar.
If you have the chance to drive to the countryside (towns) near Mexico City, I really suggest you Monte Real town, which is in the state of Hidalgo. I went there last week with my family, we enjoyed it a lot and we noticed it´s a tourist destination. For a moment I felt I was at Mont Tremblant or Le Vieux Québec but in a Mexican style.
During the week, I try to be at home doing homework and avoid the stress and chaos of the city. The traffic and the crowded metro is catastrophic. Sometimes I wish I could leave Mexico City. Our lifestyle is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, our people are crazy to get their jobs, schools, home etc that they are totally inpatient.
A country of contrast, this shall be my last comment. It´s worth it to live the Mexico an experience. I hope you can enjoy the country. And I would be glad to share opinions and to know about you, Canada and your lifestyle

Have a good day,
Eduardo Vaquero

Eduardo´s expectations

Writing is not just another English language ability but a strong and permanent expression. Knowledge, feelings, thoughts and everything that´s within the human mind can be written down. In adittion, writting in more than one language provides me the chance to express my ideas in different ways, and also to have more readers.
Due to the reasons above, I always really wanted to take a serious writing course. My expectations for this course are related to my thoughts, for I expect I will be able to write with the correct structure, grammar, spelling, punctuation and vocabulary. I´d also like to write in different styles. Obviously I´m not expecting to become a professional writer but these 6 months could teach me to improve on my own
This course will be hard for me just as the other 2 before, on the other hand I love learning English here at CELE, that´s why I´ll do my best
