Becky - Brighton

Tiago - Brazil

20 Holland street Brighton BN2 2WB 5 April Dear Tiago, Thank you for your address in Brazil! My

name’s Becky and I’m nineteen years old. I’m a language student at Brighton University. I live in a house near the centre of Brighton with my mother and father, my brother James and my Polish friend Danka.

I speak French, Spanish and a little German, but I don’t speak Portuguese. Sorry! My favourite subject at university is Spanish, but I don’t like German.

I like listening to music and swimming. At weekends I go out with my friends. Sometimes we go to the cinema and sometimes we go to a cafe or a nightclub.

What about you? What do you do in Brazil? Please write to me.

Best wishes, Becky
