Question

You have learned a lot about Nicaragua. Your friend Jordan, 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 next trip is to Nicaragua. Write Jordan a three-paragraph letter in English, and compare Nicaraguan culture and American culture, especially in terms of foods, sports, transportation, population, and demographics. How is your culture similar to Nicaraguan culture? How is it different? Use a lot of details from what you've learned to help Jordan prepare for the trip, and have fun! Before you write, take notes on these questions to help you think of what to tell Jordan.

What are the five most interesting things you have learned about Nicaragua?

Answer 1

In the letter to the friend, you may include that the similarities between the Nicaraguan culture and American culture include similar foods which include a lot of fruits and vegetables, their love for baseball, and a strong sense of family as is obtainable in America.

How to write the letter

To write the letter, explain the similarities between the cultures. Both cultures eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, although the Nicaraguan cuisine is spicier than the American. Also, both cultures enjoy sports. The Americans love baseball just as the Nicaraguans.

Also, include that the transportation in Nicaragua is mostly made of taxis and motorcycles. The population of Nicaragua is small in comparison to America because there are just about 7 million people.
