FCE Practice Hello everybody I have to practice for my First certificate test, so I'd like to get your hep correcting this writings, Thank you! Dear Patrick, I'm very happy to hear from you, It'll be great! If you come to Seville this summer we'll have a long time to be together. About your plan of visiting Seville and working here, I think that you'll learn a lot of Spanish and of course there are a lot of summer jobs that will be good for you. I think the best place for you is "Isla mágica" which is an amusement park that open just in summer, another choice for you is working in Hotels that require a lot of people in summer. If you can't get a job in those places then you should try in Markets like "Mercadona", "Eroski" and of course you could try it in Mcdonnal too. I don't know how much money you will earn, but I think that you will have just enough for your basic expenses. About your last question, I'm sorry to tell you that you can't stay at my house because another friend is staying, but don't worry; I will find a place for you in a friend's house or in any cheap hostel. Anyway, write back soon and let me know your opinion. Regard, Diego.

Hello everybody I have to practice for my First certificate test, so I'd like to get your help correcting this letter. Thank-you!

Dear Patrick,

I'm very happy to hear from you.   It'll be great if you can come to Seville this summer as we'll be able to spend a lot of time together.

Regarding your plan of visiting Seville and working here, I think that you'll learn a lot of Spanish and of course there are a lot of summer jobs that will be good / suitable for you. I think the best place for you is "Isla mágica" which is an amusement park that is open only in summer.  Another option for you is to work in hotels which require a lot of extra staff in summer. If you can't get a job in those places then you should try in markets (<em>do you mean "shops" or "supermarkets"?</em>) like "Mercadona", "Eroski".  Of course, you could try it in McDonalds too.

I don't know how much money you will earn, but I think that you will make just enough to cover your basic expenses.

On your last question, I'm sorry to tell you that you can't stay at my house because another friend is staying.  But don't worry -  I will find a place for you in a friend's house or in a cheap hostel.

Anyway, write back soon and let me know your opinion / what you think.

Regards,
Diego.

[<em>You can use "about" but it doesn't sound that good especially in written English.  I have replaced it with "regarding" and just "on".  There are plenty of other options.  Good effort and good luck! Michael]</em>
