Answer 1

Yo fui a China. Me quede en un hotel. El hotel era grande y bonito. Mientras estuve alli, pude disfrutar de varias cosas comodas. Yo estuve en ese hotel por una semana.  Yo visite los lugares mas antiguos de China. Tambien escale la gran muralla. Yo vi grandes pandas cuando fui alla. Los lugares donde yo fui esa vez fueron muy saludables. El viaje fue muy bueno. 

There you have 10 sentences in past tense with hotel brief description, how the salutation and farewell was. I choose China for destination but you can change it if you feel the need. Hope this helps.

Mi viaje a la ciudad de México fue maravilloso. (My travel to Mexico city has been wonderful).

En el segundo día, comí unos tacos, que son un platillo típico. No les puse chile, pues no lo hubiera soportado, pero estuvieron deliciosos. (The second day I ate tacos, which are a typical dish. I didn't put them chili, because I wouldn't handle it, but they were delicious).

Explanation:

Mexico is one of the most beautiful places in the world and therefore one of the Top 10 in the list of most visited places in the planet. Therefore, this is the country I chose. In Mexico City there are some mosts when visiting, such as The monument of Revolution, the Latin American Tour, Paseo de la Reforma Street, and Downtown, thus I mentioned them in the letter. The hotel Marquis is one of the most emblematic hotels in the country, this is why it is the one mentioned in the letter.

The letter has to be written in the first person singular as if myself would be writing it. And as I am a woman I wrote it in the feminine form, that is why some verbs agree with this form too (such as "estuve hospedada"). I addressed the letter to my parents (which is a plural third person) and that is why the initial greeting and the final farewell are aimed to the plural third person.

As the instructions establishes that the letter must be in the past tense, that is why all the verbs that indicate actions of the protagonist of the letter (first person singular) are highlighted and agree in number and person.
