Exercise 4

Hi Harry,

I enjoyed reading your recently e-mail; I hope you and your family are very well. I’m excited to stay with you in the summer. I’m fifteen and I live with my parents and my sister in Gorizia. I’m very happy about living here. It’s a beautiful place.

I go to school in Cervignano, a city near Gorizia and usually my school has got lots of after-school activities, but this year there aren’t after-school activities because there is Covid-19. 

In my free time on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday my sister and me go to the swimming pool, but next week we don’t go because the swimming pool close. If I don’t go to the swimming pool, in my free time I have my homework; I watch TV; I play with my dog and I play in my garden. Instead what do you do in your free time?

I don’t have favourite bands, but I really like Depeche Mode, Il Volo, Abba, Dear Jack and Spandau Ballet. For actors, my favourite actors are Amanda Seyfried, Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Claudio Bisio, Alessandro Siani, Chris Evans, Lily James, Richard Madden, Harrison Ford, Richard Gere, Giulia Roberts, Lily Collins and Anne Hathaway.

Please give my best wishes to your family. I look forward to receiving a reply from you soon.

Cheers,

Sofia
