Dear Ana, 
I’m having a great time in Brazil. I’ve just arrived from a trip to Curitiba. What a 
nice city! Beautiful and clean! And we really enjoyed the cold weather for a 
change. Have you ever been there? If not, I totally recommend it! 
Things are going well here. I’ve met a lot of Brazilians at university and they have 
been extremely helpful. I understand the university assessment system way better 
now. I’ve done well on my exams. 
I miss you! 
Love, 
Samara

Leia o seguinte post de um blog de viagens: 
 
Hello, guys! How are you? 
I’ve__________ around the North of Brazil for ten days. I’ve been to the city of 
Manaus, the capital of Amazonas, and I’ve also been to a lodge along the Negro river. 
The river is enormous! Really impressive! 
People from here are quite cheerful. There’s always a smile in their faces. 
__________ I’ve been in the area for a long time, I haven’t seen many wild animals. 
I guess it is not very common to see jaguars and anacondas. 
__________ Manaus is a large city with a population of more than 2 million 
inhabitants, the area of the lodge is not populated, because it is in the jungle. 
I recommend you bring light clothes when you come here for a vacation, because the 
weather in the jungle is extremely hot! 
I’ll keep you posted about my new adventures here in the North! 
Talk to you soon!
