11A.1
Next summer, she's going to Petropolis. She's going to stay in a four-star hotel. She wants to go horse-riding and to eat well.
Next January we're going up to Petropolis with my friend Lucia and her boyfriend, Luis. We're going to stay in a four-star hotel for a week - a real treat! Luis's a travel agent so he's getting us a special deal. It's still expensive but you only live once! The hotel's got a big pool, good facilities and a great health centre, so we're really going to relax in a healthy way - a bit of exercise and then lots of pampering! A week isn't going to be long enough and I'm certainly not going to think about teaching!
We both find Rio too hot in the summer. Petropolis is quite cool and very green. We're planning to go for long walks in the country and I want to go horse-riding. I'd love to do a course and learn to ride properly. There are lots of old buildings to see in Petropolis and everybody says the food is good there. So, we're going to spend lots of time sitting in restaurants too. I'm counting the days - we can't wait to go!

Next January we're going up to Petropolis with my friend Lucia and her boyfriend, Luis. We're going to stay in a four-star hotel for a week - a real treat! Luis's an estate agent so he's getting us a special price. It's still expensive but you only die once!

A week isn't going to be long enough! I'm certainly not going to think about working!
