Hi.  My name is Ross.   I am 15 years old and live on a farm outside the city of Romney.  I have 2 younger brothers named James and Ben.  I have 2 dogs and 4 cats.  My father operates a stone quarry, and my mother is a school teacher.  My grandmother also lives with me at my home. 

            I am very happy that you will be having me in your home, and I am very grateful for your hospitality.  I have a cousin who lives in Milano, so I am familiar with some Italian customs and food.  Your cult ureis very different from ours, but I am sure that I will enjoy my experience. 

           I play some sports for my school including tennis and running.  I do not enjoy school very much, but I do not dislike it.  I like spending time with my friends.  Another interest that I have now is Italian and European disco music.  It is very cool.
