Hi,

My name’s Renata. I am from Goiania in Brazil. I am 18 years old and have just enteredUniversity. 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 outalmost 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 wealways go away for the weekend. We visit all the small towns near the capital. We never stayon 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 goingto visit Macchu Picchu. It is going be a cultural trip. However, we are not going to exhibitions orconcerts. 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.
