Short Answer

Read the e-mail from Tanya, a Canadian teenager, to her Costa Rican key pal, Maria. Then circle the letter of the correct answer for each question.

Hi Maria, How are you doing? I havent heard from you for a few days. Are you still feeling under the weather? You know what I do when I have a cold? My mom makes me chicken soup and I drink lots of lemon tea with honey and garlic. Try it. It might work for you. Now I need your advice! Do you remember my cousin Kym? Shes older than me, but were really closelike sisters. Shes the one who goes to the University of Victoria. Well, she wants to go somewhere warm for the Christmas holidays. Shes what we call a snowbird in Canada you know, someone who likes to fly south to escape the winter. She was talking about where to go this year, and I suggested she consider your country, Costa Rica. She thinks its a great idea. So she asked me if I would contact you and get some inside information about where to go, what to do, and where to stay. Shes planning to go with two of her friends and theyll have to travel on a pretty tight budget. Kym and her friends are not your typical tourists that like to hit all the big tourist spots. Theyre pretty adventurous and like to explore out-of-the-way places. What do you suggest? Of course, Id like to tag along, but I dont think I can talk my parents into it. But I had a good idea. Youve never seen snow before, have you? Why dont you come and visit me this winter? Kind of like a snowbird in reverse! We could go up to Whistler Mountainits just a few hours inland from our place in Vancouver and we have a chalet up there! My dad went in on it with my uncle a couple of years ago and theyve been spending the last few summers fixing it up. Its really something now. And Whistler is totally awesome. Its considered one of the top resorts in Canada. Theres always snowand there are 33 lifts (and quite a few beginner slopes). Theres also a wonderful winter wildlife tour that we can go on! Whistler is very international, with restaurants serving cuisine from all over the world! And Whistler Village is set up for strolling, so we can get almost anywhere we want without worrying about transportation. And you dont have to worry about the altitude eitherits not too high and people rarely have trouble. Anyway Maria, you just have to come! I promise itll be the best Christmas youve ever had. Ask your parents and tell me what they say! Your friend, Tanya
