Answer:
Dear Marta,
I am writing to tell you that I am travelling to Africa this summer to be a missionary with my church. Africans live in a sad situation these days and I want to help the children of that country because they don't have the necessary resources to live a healthy life. I have several objections. First, I am going to build houses for the homeless. There are thousands of children living abroad. My second objective is I am going to feed the children because there are many children who die every day of hunger. The third objective that I have is I am going to give resources to African schools. Many schools have neither books nor paper for students. I want to help this tragedy so that the children have a better future. I am not going to be lazy this summer, but very productive!
Your friend,
Juan Carlos
dear Juan Carlos,
you are very passionate and generous. Many people here spend their summers watching TV or going to the movies with their friends. But I believe that our time is very important. We should use the vacations productively. Yes, I think we need to relax, but we also need to use our time to work, learn or help other people. I am going to spend the summer in my dad's office. He is a lawyer, but he works to defend the rights of war veterans. Many of them don't have jobs, and my dad helps them. I think I'm going to follow in my father's footsteps and be a lawyer like him. I hope you enjoy your summer!
Kisses,
Marta
P.S. be careful in Africa! It is a dangerous country. Please don't fight with anyone

Answer:
The correct category of each name of the food is:
- Las grasas: <u>La mantequilla</u>.
- Las verduras: <u>Los guisantes, la cebolla</u>.
- Las frutas: <u>Las uvas</u>.
- El pan: <u>Los postres, los espaguetis</u>.
Explanation:
The translation of the answer is:
- The fats: <u>The butter</u>.
- The vegetables: <u>The peas</u>, <u>the onion</u>.
- The fruits: <u>the grapes</u>.
- The bread: <u>The desserts, the spaghetti</u>.
As you can see, the category was selected depending on the type of food: The butter is a fat, the peas and onion are vegetables, the grapes are fruits, and the desserts and spaghetti are considered 'flour' as the bread.
About the articles in each case, remember the definite articles are regularly the translations of the article "the" in Spanish, <u>to use it in the correct form you must identify if the word is masculine or feminine and, if the word is singular or plural</u>. The translations of the article the in Spanish are:
- <em>El:</em> Singular - masculine.
- <em>La:</em> Singular - feminine.
- <em>Los:</em> Plural - masculine.
- <em>Las:</em> Plural - feminine.
