READING SECTION

I’m Santiago and I’m from Rosario in Argentina.

Now, I live in Palermo, in Buenos Aires.
This is a
photo of my apartment. I live with one
other person, Gabriel. We have three
bedrooms in our apartment, so we need
another person to share our home!

About Palermo

The apartment is in a great part of the

city. There are some really nice cafés,
restaurants, and stores near here. It’s a
good place for young people and
students. There are also a lot of parks, squares, and green spaces – people
play a lot of sports in this part of town.

About the apartment

The apartment is pretty big. It’s in a new building and it’s on the ninth floor. We
have a good view of Palermo from the living room! The apartment is very
close to Aguero station, so it’s easy to travel around the city.

About us

I’m 24 and I’m a teacher. I work at an international school downtown. It’s about
a half hour from the apartment. I teach Spanish there. It’s a great job because
the children are a lot of fun – some of my students are only four years old!
Gabriel is 23. He’s a student doctor at the Fernández Hospital. It’s pretty near
our apartment. Gabriel is from Brazil and he is very nice.
 About you

We speak Spanish, Portuguese, and English, so we are happy to live with

someone from Argentina, Chile, Brazil, the U.S., the U.K., … we don’t mind!
Please contact us for more information. We hope to meet you soon!
