EX. 4

Dear Harry,

I hope you are well. I’m so excited about coming to stay with you this summer. I’m writing to tell you a bit more about myself.

My name is Anna Vicenzin, I’m fifteen years old and I live in San Giorgio di Nogaro, a small town 100 kilometres from Trieste. I attend the second form at the Cervignano’s Liceo Scientifico and my favourite subjects are Maths and Biology.

In my spare time I like playing the flute, reading fantasy or romantic books and watching TV programmes, such as “Say yes to the dress”, “Grey’s Anatomy” or “Masterchef”.

One of my favourite actors is Eric Bana, while my favourite singer is Ed Sheeran.

What about you? Which school do you attend? Have you got a favourite subject? How do you like spend your free time?

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

All the best,

Anna
