"Hi Ana,
My name is Sofia, I'm 16 years old and I'm from Portugal. I'm writing to you as a participant of the Partner Links project.
I live in Lagos with my mother and my brother. I usually go to school by car or use public transportation because I live far from the city.
I'm attaching a photo of me and two of my friends from last winter. I'm the tall one in the middle, with short, brown hair. To my left, you can see a shorter girl -- her name is Ana too! What a coincidence! Ana has been my best friend since kindergarten, and while she may look grumpy, she's a sweetheart.
In front of us, kneeling down, there's a boy -- his name is Duarte. Duarte is a very cheerful and energetic boy, and he can't stay still for too long. It's almost a miracle how me managed to take this photo! We had a lot of fun that day.
I love hanging out with them, we always have a blast! We usually go on walks or meet up somewhere to chat for a while. It's great fun!
Can you send me a photo of you and your friends when you e-mail me back?
Write to you soon,
Sofia."
