Last year<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I visited my mother and studied French. I didn\u2019t have many problems and I made a lot of friends. I went to the USA and learned English a lot too. I saw different places and had time to take pictures. I didn\u2019t drink beer, I drank only soda. I ate barbecue and slept late on weekends. I started a business and worked a lot. My business helped me learn and understand things. I didn\u2019t want to live in the USA because I love Brazil.
My life changed and I had many things to do every day. I also finished what I started in 2003: an English course. I didn\u2019t lose anything, I only won. This was the best year of my life. Everything went fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
