    Default Help our students - Pen Pals from Brazil

    Hello, everybody!

    I found the forum through my friend Ira Stone.
    I am Brazilian and I work in a language school here as e pedagogical coordinator.

    I am used to writing letters in English and I know the benefits of it.
    I would like that our students here could realize that and I thought that, if you are willing, of course, maybe you all can help us.

    Here's what came to my mind:

    I will invite all the students here, for those who are interested, to write letter in English. Then I could help them to write, address and send those letters. Then we need some people to receive and answer them back.

    Would you like to exchange one or two letters with one of our students?

    Here, most of our students are adults from 18 or 19 to 30. Of course we have older and younger students. More than half of them are basic English learners.

    All right! I truly hope to get some answers.

    They would love if you write them with our beloved FPs and ink!

    See you,
    Alex

    Hi! Can I give you another student?

    She is Beatriz Pasquali. She is older, almost retired (or retired and continued working). She is in the first book, but she is thinking of stopping after it because she says it is hard to remember everything. She works in a store downtown.

    Alex, are you still looking for a writer to Beatriz, or has she stopped her lessons?

    Just posted one to Larissa today.

    Oh, sorry, VertOlive!

    Please, if you could write to Beatriz, I'd appreciate.
    Larissa's is very nice. I saw it yesterday.
