great email to an e-friend!
Thanks, Vale! (ER22 CLEC)
Dear María:
My teacher gave me your e-mail address. I´m Valeria, but I´m called Vale. I´m twenty one years old and I´m from San Genaro, but I´m living in Rosario because I´m studying Chemical Engineering at University. I want to learn English because I think it is an important language and I like meeting people.
I have a sister. She´s called Cele, but her name is María Celeste. She´s a student, because she is seventeen years old. My father is a farmer and my mother is a housewife.
I love returning to San Genaro because I love staying in my house with my family. My house is big. There are three bedrooms, three dinning rooms, two bathrooms, and most important´s there is a big garden. My mother likes gardening so there are a lot of flowers and fruit plants. I like my flat in Rosario but it´s smaller than my house.
I love walking with my friends or my sister. I like cooking, too, but I hardly ever cook because I don´t have time. However, last weekend I cooked pizza for my family. I love Italian food… I prefer pasta to asado!
Every Sunday I go to church with my family and I always meet my friends on Saturday evenings.
Next month I´m going to travel to Armstrong, where my two friends Jime y Dai live. I meet them three years ago, when I started University. I´m going to stay at Jimena´s house because it´s bigger than Dai´s house. I´m going to know the city and my friends’ families. I´ve never been to Armstrong, but I´m sure that we´re going to have a great time!
Oh! I almost forgot! I want to tell you I´ve worked in Rotary Club San Genaro for five years, but I left it because I moved to Rosario. I was very happy because I travelled a lot. I knew a lot of towns of Santa Fe and I travelled to Chile in 2006. There, I met Brazilian, American, Canadian and Mexican people.
In Rotary we worked a lot for the community.
What about you? Write soon!
Love,
Valeria

Amazon river 'longer than Nile'
By Gary Duffy
BBC News, Sao Paulo
The new study puts the Amazon at 6,800km
Researchers in Brazil are claiming to have established as a scientific fact that the Amazon is the longest river in the world.
The Amazon is recognised as the world's largest river by volume, but has generally been regarded as second in length to the River Nile.
The claim follows an expedition to Peru that is said to have established a new starting point further south.
It puts the Amazon at 6,800km (4,250 miles) compared to the Nile's 6,695km.
Mountain source
The precise length of a river is not easy to calculate and depends on correctly identifying the source and the mouth.
The new claim in Brazil follows an expedition by scientists which is said to have discovered a new source for the Amazon in the south of Peru and not the north of the country as had been thought for many years.
While the exact location has yet to be confirmed from two choices, scientists say either would make the river the longest in the world.
Guido Gelli, director of science at the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, told the Brazilian network TV Globo that today it could already be considered as a fact that the Amazon was the longest river in the world.
The Amazon is now said to begin in an ice-covered mountain in southern Peru called Mismi.
Researchers travelled for 14 days, sometimes in freezing temperatures, to establish the location at an altitude of 5,000m.
The research was co-ordinated by the National Geographical Institute of Peru, with the help of their colleagues in Brazil.
There has been a healthy academic debate over the world's longest river for some years and the claim from Brazil may not go unchallenged.
