Wow! You now know so much about Ecuador! Your friend David, however, knows nothing about it. In a few months, his family is going on a tour of Spanish speaking-countries, including Spain and several Central and South American countries. He has asked you to help him learn more about those places before his trip. His first trip is to Ecuador. Write David a three-paragraph letter in English, and compare Ecuadorian culture and American culture, especially in terms of foods, sports, transportation, population, and demographics. How is your culture similar to Ecuadorian culture? How is it different? Use a lot of details to help David prepare for the trip, and have fun! You can use the CultureGram link to get ideas and information. (5 points per paragraph)
