Description
write a paragraph of at least six sentences. Use both verbs, ser and estar to talk about yourself or a friend. I wrote: ¡Hola! Me llamo Tyler. Soy de Philadelphia. Soy estudiante. Estoy en la escuela. Estoy muy bien. Ella nombre de mi amiga es Maria. Élla esta mexicano. Ella está bien.
When I'm writing Philadelphia do I need to write it in English version or in Spanish version: Filadelfia?

Esteban has given you some great tips, also you might be better saying something like - I am a student - which will take 'soy' (although you might expect estoy, but it's characterizing who you are at this moment in time so you use ser) - rather than saying - estoy en la escuela; as you could only say this if you were at the time physically in the school grounds.
It's best to just write Philadelphia. You should change "ella nombre" to "el nombre". You are using the wrong verb in the sentence "Ella esta mexicano." You should use a conjugated form of "ser", not "estar". And be sure to have the descriptive word "mexicano" agree with the gender of the word it is describing. Also, "ella" never needs a tilde over the first "e". Remember that when you are using "está" as a form of the infinitive "estar", it always needs a tilde over the "a". Good luck with your Spanish class, mi amigo!
