This is the first time Iparticipate in EC Writing Challenge, I want to say a few words about it.

First of all, I want to thank Ms Tara for everything she does! It was very interesting, I read again about countable and uncountable nouns, I learnt news uncountable ones, and I tried to mobilize them in this writing exercice.

By the way, I like the idea of writing a letter. I chose my friend Martin from Slovakia. Martin will not be here befor tomorrow evening. I hope this letter will be a nice surprise from him.

_____________________________________________________

Dear Martin,

I hope you are well and you are having good time in your nature trip.

You must be enjoying  snow and skiing , it was a good idea to go there and breath some pur air.

Here in Kénitra, we had rain yesterday, today it’s freezing cold, but I could see the sun from my window room. I’m sending you by the way some sunshine with this letter.

Martin, I’m not good at expressing feelings and writing beautiful things  and everything. You know me. I just want you to know how much our friendship means to me, and how much I appreciate your politeness, sincerity,  and optimism.

You are one of my first MyEC friends. You helped me a lot with my English, especially in our first conversations where I had understunding and writing difficulties. I’m very grateful to you.

Talking about our first conversations, I remember when  we first met, we talked about different subjects, shed books, songs and funny videos. We discovered our similarities and also our differences. That made our complicity  grow.

I’m fascinated by Slovakia beauty, and you, by Moroccan sun.  And as we  both do Business studies, it was a great idea from you to think about running a Tourism company, in our imagination. It’s always interesting to discuss with you, you have a good Marketing knowledge.

 I miss talking with you while your absence. My holidays will end soon, and I’m having some rest at home. Today I cooked. I  didn’t burn the sauce like I did last time. But, I think I abused using salt... My dad, after tasting my dish, dranke a big glass of water and said « It was delicious ». He is always here to encourage me.

Yesterday, I met my old highschool classmates. It was great to see them again. We had lunch together, and we talked about football. I learnt new things about soccer game. I will feel less silly while watching matches.

And I think I will go to Casablanca to buy my ticket for Oum concert in Jazzablanca festival, you know how much I love this beautiful Moroccan singer, I will finally see her ! In the same day there will also be an art exposition about Jazz and initiation workshops. Jazz music always intrigued me. It would be fun if we go together !

Together we dreamed of doing many things, like visiting each other.  Slovakia is in my futur travels list ! You will take me to see bears and  wonder of castels in your country.   And if you remember, we made an agreement : You will teach me how to dance Slovak traditional dances, and I will teach you how to ride a camel in Mogador sea, and Marrakech oasis. You always tell me that weather is very hot for you  in Morocco, but if you come, I will give you my « biiig »  Senegalese T-shirt that I showed you once. We can also eat some ice cream.  I’m a bad cook, but I can prepar it very well.  if I make a mess we can buy it at least.

I was lucky to find such a great friend here. You deserve all the best in life, Martin. I hope one day our little dreams will come true, and I hope to see you again very soon. 

Sending you lots of hugs from Morocco

& Keep Smiling !

Ilham .
