Imagine you have a friend who lives in an exciting place you have never visited: New York City, Mexico, etc. You are about to visit your friend for the first time; you are very excited and have many things you want to do, but you also have a lot of questions. Write a letter to your friend to prepare for your trip.

Answer and Explanation:

Dear João,

I'm so excited to finally visit you in Rio de Janeiro! There are so many beautiful places I've seen on TV that I would just love to visit. And the beaches, especially the famous Copacabana, are a must! Of course, the beautiful Sugar Loaf mountain is also at the top of my list. Do you have any places you'd like to take me to? You know the city well, and maybe these obvious spots are no fun for you. So I'd like for us to go places that you also enjoy.

I do have a few questions and doubts. Will you come and pick me up at the airport? If not, which is the best means of transportation to get to you? In case I have trouble speaking the little Portuguese I've learned, do you think people will understand me if I speak to them in English?

I remember you told me you will still have to work a couple of days after I get there. Do you think it is safe for me to go around by myself? And, just in case, could you teach me a few expressions so that I can deal with trivial situations? For instance, buying or ordering something, or simply asking for information.

I'll be looking forward to your reply! Thank you again for helping me arrange this amazing trip!

See you soon,
