Answer:

Dear Jordan,

I'm sure you would love to visit Guatemala, it is a very beautiful and touristic place with very kind people. Punctuality is very different in the United States and in Guatemala. In the United States, punctuality is a sign of respect for other people, but in Guatemala it is not something important. Most people in Guatemala just wear casual clothes that you would see people wearing in any other country, but in some towns women wear traditional Indian dresses. On the other hand, men who go to the city to work don't often wear their traditional trajes. Typical Guatemalan food has influences from nearby countries and usually includes rice. People from Guatemala and the United States tend to engage in similar activities in their free time, such as going out with friends, playing sports, and watching television. Guatemalan music comes in a variety of styles and forms. Guatemalan social change has been aided by music such as nueva cancion, which weaves together history, current events, and common people's political values and conflicts. I hope you learned something from this letter, enjoy Guatemala!

Sincerely, (Your Name)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps
