Hi, everybody!

My name is Erica, I’m 17 years old. I’m tallish, I have blue eyes and wavy brown hair.

I attend the Liceo "D’Adda" in Varallo and I’m in the 3^rd year.

I study a lot of subjects: French, German, Latin, Maths, History, Philosophy, English. There are no practical subjects and they are all compulsory.

I live in a house in a village called Quarona in the north of Italy, about 8 km far from Varallo.

I don’t like living here, because it is quiet and there aren’t many amusements.

There are four of us in my family. My mother’s name is Enza, she is 41 years old, she is a retailer; my father’s name is PierMario, he is 48 years old, he is a clerk.

My little brother is called Luca. He is 4 years old and he attends the nursery school.

In my free time I like listening to music. My favourite singer is Bon Jovi. I also go out with my friends, very often to the cinema.

My hobbies are swimming, playing volley-ball in the school team and in winter skiing with my father.

I’d like travelling around the world very much, but I haven’t had a chance yet. So I hope to be able to come to the USA in September. I’d like to have an American guest when you visit our school.

Bye for now,

Erica
