When people have different tastes it doesn’t necessary mean that they don’t get along with each other. My friendship with Graziela is a good example for it. I can say that Graziela is my best friend, the sister that I didn’t have.  She is my daughter’s godmother and I am her first son’s  godmother. But we are completely different in so many aspects. While I love sports and go to the gym almost every day in the week, she likes to stay home relaxing and hates to practice physical exercises. I am very anxious and almost all time I am worried about something, whereas Graziela is calm and never think about problems.  When I meet some person for the first time, I am usually distrustful, but Graziela, in a different way, get close to the person easily and probably invite him/her to her house. She loves to do big parties in her house, while I prefer to do a dinner for a small group of friends at my home. We don’t have the same friends. And even in politics, we don’t have similar opinions. You must be thinking  why we are friends and I say that what join us is above all these differences. I think we have the same life values.  We are very sincere, we are always able to help a friend,  we don’t think that money is the reason of our lifes, we usually put our family in the first place of everything we do. Like Graziela, I love to be with family. I am very close to my daughter, as Graziela is to her children and husband. But there are some tastes we have in common, for example, we love to go shopping…  After all, we are “women”!

 


 

 

Paragraph Unit 1

 

My daughter is the most special person I've met in my life. She is very intelligent, sensitive and mature. that gives me the opportunity to learn with her in many situations (like what? Give some examples). She is only fifteen years old, but ^ is the best company to go to the theatre, to the movies, to a restaurant and to travel. She pays attention in (ww) everything and likes to share her feelings and points of view. Despite her maturity, she hasn't losen (vf) the teen dreams and the optimistic way to see the world. Then, she is a light girl (rephrase this sentence). Well, I can say she is unique not because she is the only daughter I have. She is unique because she is really special. 

 

Dear Gisela,,

 

Your text is excellent with a clear topic sentence, supporting ideas, and concluding sentence. It gives the reader a true sense of your daughter's uniqueness. I'm sure she is a very special girl.

Just try to expand some of the ideas you mentioned in the body of your paragraph to make it even richer. Pay attention to some language structures, mainly the spelling of the words and word form. Also, be attentive to the use of articles.  I'm sure your paragraph will be even better!
