Read the following text and do the activities that follow. Dear Julie, I hope you’re doing fine. I’m writing this e-mail to you to say hello and, also, to tell you I decided to take your advice: I will travel a bit around Europe. I know nobody expected me to make a decision like this, but I think I really need to be away for a while. I already searched for information about the weather in some European countries, and I found that the best season of the year, for me, is summer; you know I love sunny days and it is always rainy here. I consider a 6-month experience is enough, and if everything goes as I have planned, I think I could visit several cities. Also, I feel I should go to natural reserves, climb mountains, go trekking, swim in lakes or rivers, and do other similar activities because I am very passionate about animals and nature itself. Another important reason for me to travel in summer is that I don´t have many winter clothes. I have a couple of coats that work in Bogotá but they’re not appropriate for colder places. Obviously, I may buy some more clothes but I don´t want to carry lots of things wherever I go, I want to travel comfortably. Can you recommend me a safe place to exchange money? I saved some money last year and, now, I’m ready to exchange it for euros, but I don’t want to take the risk of going to a place that is not reliable. I’m asking you for this favor because you know this city more than I do. My mother is a bit worried about my trip. She went to Paris last year and saw that, in general, life in Europe is more expensive than in Colombia. Also, because she hates when I go away and leave her alone for so long.

Anyways, this is the happiest time of my life and I hope to enjoy the most of it. I wanted to share my joy with you because you are a true friend to me. Well, this is all I can tell by now. I hope you can write to me soon. Sincerely, Your friend Juana
