Hi Liam,

How are you? My name's Juan and I'm from Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. I'm eleven years old. How old are you?

I'm tall, I've got black hair and brown eyes. I've got one sister and two brothers.

I've got a dog called Pedro. Have you got any pets? I like football, beach volleyball and music. What do you like?

I speak Portuguese (the language in Brazil) and English. What languages do you speak?

It's sunny and hot in Rio. What's the weather like where you live in Canada?

Please write soon.

Best wishes,
Juan
