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 detailed three paragraph letter in English with a minimum of five sentences per paragraph. Compare and contrast Nicaraguan culture and your American culture. Think in terms of food, sports, climate, and lifestyle for example. How is your culture similar to Nicaraguan culture? How is it different? Use lots of details from what you've learned to help Jordan prepare for the trip, and have fun!

Answer 1

Answer:

Hey Jordan,

    It’s cool that you get to visit Nicaragua. Here are some interesting things about it.  The capital city of Nicaragua is Managua. You can also enjoy walking the street of the city due to the fact it’s a very safe city. The people are known to be very relaxed with a laid-back attitude. However, they’re aggressive drivers worse than any taxi driver in New York! There are also policemen who are posted on corners or ride motorcycles to keep the place safe.  

   Some things in Nicaragua are very different from the United States.  For example, policemen are posted on corners, or they ride motorcycles yet in the United States they drive cars. In Nicaragua, their speed limit is about 20 miles less than the average in the United States. They’re also a rather poor country compared to the country below them, Costa Rica, and us in the United States.  

   Some things in Nicaragua are a lot like the United States. An example is that there are police officers in both countries to keep their country safe. Baseball is really popular as it is in the United States. They also bury their dead and have funerals beforehand as we do here in the United States.

Have a great trip!  Bring me back a souvenir!
