Read the following text and do the activities that follow.

Dear Julie,
I hope youre doing fine. Im writing this e-mail to you to say hello and, also, to tell
you I decided to take your advice: I will travel a bit around Europe. I know nobody
expected me to make a decision like this, but I think I really need to be away for a
while. I already searched for information about the weather in some European
countries, and I found that the best season of the year, for me, is summer; you
know I love sunny days and it is always rainy here.
I consider a 6-month experience is enough, and if everything goes as I have
planned, I think I could visit several cities. Also, I feel I should go to natural
reserves, climb mountains, go trekking, swim in lakes or rivers, and do other similar
activities because I am very passionate about animals and nature itself.
Another important reason for me to travel in summer is that I dont have many
winter clothes. I have a couple of coats that work in Bogot but theyre not
appropriate for colder places. Obviously, I may buy some more clothes but I dont
want to carry lots of things wherever I go, I want to travel comfortably.
Can you recommend me a safe place to exchange money? I saved some money last
year and, now, Im ready to exchange it for euros, but I dont want to take the risk
of going to a place that is not reliable. Im asking you for this favor because you
know this city more than I do.
My mother is a bit worried about my trip. She went to Paris last year and saw that,
in general, life in Europe is more expensive than in Colombia. Also, because she
hates when I go away and leave her alone for so long. Anyways, this is the happiest
time of my life and I hope to enjoy the most of it. I wanted to share my joy with you
because you are a true friend to me.
Well, this is all I can tell by now. I hope you can write to me soon.
Sincerely,
Your friend Juana

Read the e-mail Daryl wrote to his

mom Kathy. After that, answer the
questions below.
Hi mom,
I'm finally in Colombias capital city: Bogota, and I am so excited to be here, mom.
Most people here are definitely kind and warm- hearted, and theres a lot of energy
everywhere. Here, people listen to music almost all the time so Im thinking they
might be happier than people in New York. You should know Bogota is a very special
city and that it has a very strange weather that changes a lot during the day.
Sometimes it might be really hot and the next minute it can start raining. Its crazy
because it can be sunny and rainy at the same time. So, usually in the evening, you have to
wear a sweater or warmer clothes because its really cold, or sometimes it might be rainy too so
you have to carry an umbrella with you all the time.
Well, I have to tell you that Bogota has a lot of places to visit. There are many interesting
museums and awesome shopping malls. My friend Linda told me I should stay at this hostel
downtown, so here I am at La Candelaria neighborhood. Its really nice because believe it or
not, there are people from all over the world. Whenever I go out to the streets, I can see people
from Germany, England, Argentina, France, Chile and Brazil. That has been a big surprise for
me, I think its amazing. I can say its very similar to New York in that way, the difference is
probably a big amount of foreigners in New York are there usually doing businesses, while in
Colombia most foreigners are travelling as tourists.
This city is also a lot cheaper than New York. A night at the hostel is just $30.000 Colombian
pesos, which is around U$15. Can you believe it? Its fantastic because you can do a lot more
things spending less money. In New York, everything is so expensive, I guess thats the price of
living at the big apple. Here, I can tell you food is delicious because there are lots and lots of
tasty fruits to choose from. There is also a great variety of vegetables, you cant even imagine.
So, a delicious healthy salad of lettuce, beans, mushrooms, cheese, and corn with some, lets
say, mango or strawberry juice for lunch is just $15.000, which is around U$8. And the best
thing is that everything here is %100 natural, a lot cheaper than New York and healthier too.
Mom, there are many things I have to tell you about my experience in this awesome
country. I cant do it right now because we are going out to visit some museums
with some friends. Please let me know about you and dad. I miss you all.
Big hug,
Daryl
