¡Hola, Javier! Aquí en Chicago hace mucho frío: estamos a cinco grados bajo cero y está nevando. Ahora mismo estoy escribiendo en el sofá y mi hermana está haciendo galletas. Mi estación favorita es el verano, porque hace sol y voy al lago. ¡Y mi cumpleaños es el diez de julio!

Hi, Javier! Here in Chicago it's very cold: it's five below zero and it's snowing. Right now I'm writing on the sofa and my sister is making cookies. My favourite season is summer, because it's sunny and I go to the lake. And my birthday is on the tenth of July!

Can you do it?
