Hi everyone! I’m Marissa, I’m 27 and I’m the proud owner of a food truck in NYC. My food truck is located in Soho. My specialty is ceviche. So, why ceviche? Well, I’m American but my boyfriend is Ecuadorian. His name is Felipe. I love my boyfriend and I love Ecuador so I chose to open a ceviche food truck!

My best friend, John, also owns a food truck in Broadway with his sister Anna. He’s 29, he’s English and he has an American hamburger food truck.
He has a beautiful enormous blue and white American hamburger food truck, you cannot miss it!

I have a cute small red, blue and yellow Ecuadorian food truck, just like the Ecuadorian flag!

My ceviches cost around 10$ and his hamburgers cost around14$. He doesn’t have a signature dish but I do! It’s a ceviche with 6 different fish.

I think my food truck is more popular than John’s food truck. Maybe, it’s because John’s food truck is farther to the Statue of Liberty than my food truck.

In any case, his hamburgers are delicious, crunchy but a little bit greasy. My ceviches are tasty, appetizing and healthy! You should come eat at my food truck! I’m waiting for you! Bye!

I convinced my daughter to do the reading for you. We speak Spanish and prepare ceviche at home. :)

The dollar sign always goes before the amount, never after: $50.

farther and further (both are fine for physical distances). 'From' is more natural than 'to' in this context.

We didn't make the change, but I would recommend saying "small, cute, red, blue and yellow Ecuadorian food truck". Also, "enormous, beautiful, ..."

We were very pleased to lend a hand. After all, you seem to have written the part in the play specifically for her. ;)
