I have been in here for two and a half years now and I absolutely love it. I live by myself in a (1) comfortable studio flat. It is not too close to the
university, but I have a (2) small car, so I do not notice
the distance. My leisure time is very (3) pleasant and most
weekends I am off hill-walking with my friends or visiting (4) historic cities. Actually, I think I have been to practically every
place in Scotland apart from the Northern Isles. We often visit the
local pub, which is a tradition we don't really have in Brazil. I've
made many friends since I came here — most are Scots, but I know some
English, Italians and Portuguese, with whom I can speak my own language
from time to time. I feel that I am really getting the most from my time
here. I know that in a year I will be able to go back to Brazil to continue
lecturing, but I will be (5) sad to leave all my friends and the
(6) wonderful scenery behind.
