The first thing that I really noticed when I arrived here was how incredibly friendly the people are. The 'ticos'- that's what they're called- are much friendlier than people in Europe. They always say buenos días to you even if they don't know you. And if something's good, like a beautiful day or a good meal, they say pura vida, which I love. It literally means 'pure life', but I think it really means 'things are great', or something like that. One thing that can be difficult though, their sense of time is completely different from ours- they call it 'tico time'. If they have an appointment at, let's say, seven in the evening, they probably leave home at seven o'clock, so they're always late. Luckily, my school works on what they call 'British time', so classes start punctually!
Another thing that surprised me was the weather. I thought Costa Rica was hot and sunny all the time. That's true in the dry season, and the temperature's about 25 degrees all year round, but in the rainy season, especially in September and October, it rains really heavily for maybe two hours a day. Really amazing rain, nothing like in England. Everyone told me that the scenery was beautiful in Costa Rica, but it was even more beautiful than Iexpected. Incredible animals, birds, trees- and volcanoes. Some of them are active and smoke quietly, and then suddenly there's a big bang and they start erupting. I was quite frightened the first time it happened. What else? Er, I thought that life here was going to be very cheap, but in fact, food is very expensive, especially imported food. The only thing that's cheap is fruit, vegetables, and coffee - wonderful, wonderful coffee. And the fruit and vegetables are very different from what we have in Europe. One day, I went to a market and I didn't recognize any of the fruit. I like San José. I don't feel that it's dangerous, but it probably is. A colleague of mine was in a taxi the other day, and the taxi driver took out a gun and asked him for all his money! And the roads are terrible, especially in the rain! But in general, I love it here.

Объяснение:

Дорогой [Имя друга],

Как дела? Я в столице Англии - в Лондоне. Мои родители и я всегда мечтали о посещении этого прекрасного города.

Здесь много красивых старинных зданий. Мы уже осмотрели Вестминстерское аббатство, Биг Бен (теперь это называется башня Елизаветы), здание Парламента, Букингемский дворец, Кафедральный собор Св. Павла, Лондонский мост, Лондонский Тауэр и музей восковых фигур мадам Тюссо. В этом музее есть фигуры известных людей от поп-звезд до премьер-министров, сделанные из воска. Они выглядят как настоящие. Это так интересно.

Мои родители и я гуляем сейчас по Трафальгарской площади. В ее центре стоит Колонна Нельсона, которую у основания охраняют четыре статуи львов. Кстати, я послала тебе эту открытку с изображением Трафальгарской площади.

Погода сегодня не очень, туманно и дождливо. Но это не портит нашу прогулку. Мы сделали много фотографий. На следующей неделе мы будем дома, и я покажу тебе их.

Не упусти возможность посетить Англию и Лондон.

С наилучшими пожеланиями,

[Твое имя]
