Hi,

My name’s Renata. I am from Goiania in Brazil. I am 18 years old and have just entered
University. I want be a journalist.

As my course has only started, it is very easy. I go to lessons during the day and go to out
almost every evening. My parents wished I would look at children to have some pocket money.
But I know they can support me so I am not really interested.

I live in the capital of my state. It is a very big and modern city. It is also very busy. So we
always go away for the weekend. We visit all the small towns near the capital. We never stay
on bed instead we go to a lot of parties.

We have got a different plan for Christmas. My friends and I would like to go Peru. We are going
to visit Macchu Picchu. It is going be a cultural trip. However, we are not going to exhibitions or
concerts. We are going to learn about the ancient civilisation which used to live there.
Hopefully, we are going to go way for a whole month!

I am so excited about this trip that I am reading at a book about it.

What are you doing for Christmas? Are you going to have party?

Please write soon telling me all about you.
