Dear Mom:
How are things going there? Here, I’m having the best time of my life. I’ve been here in Bogotá for ten days
now and it’s unbelievable! When I arrived, your friend Lucia picked me up at the airport and took me to her
home. Her whole family was waiting for us; they had prepared a welcoming dinner. We had a typical meal:

by some leaves they call “guascas”. It’s a funny name but they give a delicious taste to the soup. The next
day, they took me downtown to visit the old part of the city. There, we visited La Candelaria, Bolivar Square
(I’m sending you a picture of it), some museums, and churches. But the ones I really loved were Monserrate
Church, which is located at the top of a mountain (the view was amazing), and the Gold Museum which has a
beautiful collection of Pre-Colombian items.

Mom, I’m really enjoying myself. I’m having a great time! That’s it for now. I’ll write to you soon.
Love, Liz.

Put to the test

Some students bring good luck charms to school on test days. They might keep a four-leaf clover in their pocket or
wear a pair of lucky underwear. While these things can’t hurt, there are better ways of doing well on a test.

Writing a test is like running a marathon. Both activities require you to do your best for a long time. There are a couple
of strategies you can use to stay relaxed, focused and motivated for the whole test.

Runners train before a big race. They practice their skills in the same conditions they will face in the marathon. You
can train for a test in a similar way. For a reading test, there may be comprehension questions on vocabulary, main
idea, details, cause and effect, sequence and inferences. You may also be asked to summarize the text.
For a writing test, you will likely be asked to write a paragraph about a given topic. The topics will often involve
describing something, explaining how to do something, telling a story about something, or giving your opinion about
something. The goal of a test is usually to independently apply the skills you have learned and practiced in class.

Just like before a big race, it is a good idea to take care of your basic needs before the test begins. For example, get
plenty of sleep the night before. During the day of the test, get enough to eat. Go to the bathroom ahead of time.
These things will help you focus.

Follow these tips and, if your lucky underwear doesn’t work, you will have a solid back-up plan in place.
