It’s 6.00 a.m. and I’m having breakfast with Ricardo – nickname Ricky – on Corcovado
Mountain in Rio de Janeiro. It’s December, so the weather is great at the moment. The students
aren’t studying – they’re on holiday. Today, I’m taking photos of Ricky for our Guess the job!
competition.
Ricky’s first activity today is mountain biking. He isn’t riding down the road – he’s riding up the
road. It isn’t easy!
It’s 11.00 a.m. Now we’re hiking up the mountain for Ricky’s next activities. I’m not enjoying it,
but Ricky likes walking and climbing. Now we’re at the top. Ricky is rollerblading and
skateboarding. He’s having fun!
