Subject: Greetings from Mexico 
Dear Robert, 
I’m sending you a photograph of me with 
my
family. Here I’m wearing all in 
red
. Red is 
my
favorite color, that’s why 
my
jacket is red, 
my
pants are red and even 
my
shoes are red. 
The boy next to me is 
my
little brother. 
His
name is Arturo. In the picture, he is wearing 
his
“charro” suit, because the photo is from Mexican Independence day. 
Behind me and 
my
brother are 
my
parents. They are also wearing typical clothes. They only 
wear 
their
typical clothes to celebrate Independence Day. I think 
their
clothes are very nice, 
especially my mother’s 
black
skirt covered with bright decoration. Send me an e-mail soon. 
The girls that are sitting in front are my sisters Monica and Laura. 
Regards,
Mauricio
