Task: Read the text and fill in the gaps.
My name is Josie and I come from Brazil. I am living in London and working in a café. I have been here for three months and I really like it, but I miss my family and friends too. I want to go back home at Christmas, but I don’t earn very much money so I can’t afford the flight. I phoned my brother yesterday and he is going to visit me next month. Maybe I will ask him to lend me some money. When I eventually go back to Brazil, I will never forget my experience here in England.
