Caro João,

Saudações de Barcelos! Obrigado pela tua carta. Li-a na semana passada. Fiquei contente quando recebi a tua carta.

Em Novembro fui a Berlim. Visitei o palácio de Charlottenburg e passeei nos jardins. Bebi cerveja alemã, comi currywurst e salada de batata. Tirei algumas fotografias bonitas.

Tenho estado em Barcelos. Trabalho num escritório desde Setembro. Ainda não visitei a tua mãe mas já conheci os teus primos. Vivo num novo apartamento há seis meses mas ainda não dormi lá.

Escreve-me.

Em amizade,

Lúcia.

Dear John,

Greetings from Barcelos! Thanks for your letter. I read it last week. I was happy when I got your letter. In November I went to Berlin. I visited the Charlottenburg palace and I walked in the gardens. I drank German beer and I ate currywurst and potato salad. I took some beautiful pictures.

I’ve been in Barcelos. I have worked in an office since September. I haven’t visited your mother but I’ve met your cousins. I have lived in a flat for six months but I haven’t slept there yet.

Write to me,

Your friend,

Lucy
