Holidays abroad
1 Read this extract from a letter João wrote to his cousin about his
holidays in Rio de Janeiro.
O sonho do meu pai era ir ao Brasil. A minha mãe não queria ir porque
eram muitas horas de viagem. Ela dizia: “Para ouvir falar português, fico em
casa! Só preciso de ligar a televisão.”
Assim, fui eu com o meu pai… adorei! O Brasil é um país muito bonito!
Falar a língua deles foi muito bom: nunca me senti um turista, mas
quase como um brasileiro.
