Last year
I visited my mother and studied French. I didnt have many problems and I made a lot
of friends. I went to the USA and learned English a lot too. I saw different places and
had time to take pictures. I didnt drink beer, I drank only soda. I ate barbecue and
slept late on weekends. I started a business and worked a lot. My business helped me
learn and understand things. I didnt want to live in the USA because I love Brazil. My
life changed and I had many things to do every day. I also finished what I started in
2003: an English course. I didnt lose anything, I only won. This was the best year of
my life. Everything went fine.
