Answer Sheet

During my previous vacations I can say the following, I spent a year living in Costa Rica and there I
visited many interesting places.
last year I traveled in the month of July to the beach called Jaco, there I met many foreigners who told
me about their countries and how important they are to the world.
one day traveling by bus I met an Argentine student, he told me about how beautiful his country is
and the great culture they have, apparently, they are very organized.
I traveled to a place called the river of the crocodiles and if there were many crocodiles there, I
bought a cap and many carved wooden things to bring to Colombia, I also knew the Pacific and the
Atlantic Sea, I liked the Pacific Sea as it is more beautiful and its beaches are white and crystal clear.
In my next vacations I will go to San Andres, to know its beautiful beaches since I do not know my
country very well, and I am sure that it is beautiful and the people are very good.
I want to know the coffee park(parque del cafe), some places in Medellin, Cali, Bucaramanga and
other beautiful places in Colombia but I will do this when the quarantine is over, I don't know if I can
ever see beautiful landscapes again.
