Dear Tiago,
Thank you for your address in Brazil! My name is Becky and
I’m nineteen years old. I’m a language student at Brighton

I speak French, English and a little German, but I don’t speak
Spanish. My favorite subject at university is French, but I don’t
like German.
I like listening to music and swimming. At weekends I go out
with my friends. Sometimes we go to the cinema and sometimes
we go to a café or a nightclub.
What about you? What do you do in Brazil? Please write to me.
Best wishes,
Becky
