Dear José,

How are you? How is your family? Are you still working on the farm?
I am working very hard. Last week I went to Canada. I worked there. But I also had a wonderful
time. On Saturday, I woke up at 9 a.m. Then I caught a bus to see the city. Toronto is very beautiful. I saw many
shops. Some shops sold clothes, some sold alarm clocks, and some sold flowers. After some time, I bought a
sandwich. I had a lot of fun. Guess what? I went to the movies and watched Central Station. It is a great film. At 8
p.m. I went back to the hotel. On Monday, I flew to my city.
Goodbye now. Hope to hear from you soon. Maybe I will visit you in Minas in December.
Your friend Bob.

The Mighty Amazon

The Amazon is the largest river in the world. Measuring about 6,400 kilometers from source to
mouth, it is second in length only to the Nile. The Nile flows 6,695 kilometers in Africa and is the longest, but it
does not compare with the South America river in other respects. With its numerous tributaries (more than 1,100
in total), the Amazon drains a territory of more than 7 million square kilometers (40% of South America) the
largest river basin in the world. The Amazon has by far the greatest volume of any river, carrying more water than
Nile, Mississippi and Yangtzw rivers combined. In a single second it discharges about 180,000 cubic meters
of water into the Atlantic, pushing back the waters of the ocean 150 kilometers away from the river mouth.
The exact source of the Amazon, the precise location where the great river begins, had for a long
time been the subject of argument and speculation, but in 2001, in an expedition sponsored by the National
Geographic Society, an international team of explorers managed to find the true source. Using the most modern
GPS (Global Positioning System) navigational equipment, the explorers identified the place where the Amazon
begins as a small stream on a mountain called Nevado Mismi in the Peruvian Andes, roughly 60 kilometers away
from Lima and the Pacific Ocean. It is just a trickle of water but it is the true origin of the mightiest, the most
powerful river in the world.
