Hi Andrew

Hi , this is Diana. I'm in 7th grade.

Try to guess about our country: - when Portugal 'was born'. - when Portugal was dominated by Spain.

Your best friend,
Diana

Hi Ashley

It's Diana again. Are you working hard at school? When do you have holiday?

Try to guess the following about our hometown: - Why are there so many people from other parts of the country here? - Why are there classes for different students in our school in the morning, afternoon and evening?

Your friend,
Diana

Dear Kaley

Hi.How do you do? I'm fine. Have you ever heard of Expo 98? If I go to visit you where would you take me? Do you know why donkeys were famous in a suburb of Almada called Cacilhas?

Your best friend,
Diana.
