Dear Antonie, How are you?
I want to telling you what I like. First of all I love fencing. I train in the gym of Gemina Scherma in San Giorgio di Nogaro. I love this sport, but mostly I enjoy it, and I get results.I do a lot of training and then compare with my competitors. I like playing football but I hate watch it in TV. Then I love cooking and eat. I cook pasta, pizza, meat and other vegetables. I don’t like cook sweet but I love eating this. This is all.

I think my brother, Peter, has a very easy day. He usually wakes up at about ten in the morning. He doesn’t get up then, though. He usually gets up at about eleven and has breakfast. Then he has a cup of coffee and reads the newspaper. After that, he listens to music. He goes to school by bus. That’s at about two o’clock. He gets home at around six o’clock and has dinner. He does his homework at about eight o’clock. Then he hangs out with his friends or he stays at home and watches DVDs. He never goes to the gym and he never walks anywhere! He says he doesn’t like doing exercise!

Sonya
Well, my day starts at half past three in the morning. I know – can you believe that?
I have a shower to really wake me up and then a very light breakfast – just cereal and some orange juice. I get to the station at about five o’clock, so that I can talk to my team before I start my show at five o’clock.
I prepare the music the day before, but I check things one more time to make sure.
The show is four hours long, but the time seems to go by really fast. After the show, I get the music ready for the next day.
I get home after lunch. In the afternoon, I go to the gym or play tennis. I go to bed early – of course!
It’s the perfect job for me – people pay me to play my favourite music.
Clark
I don’t get up early because I don’t go out work. I work at home. I start in the afternoon, after lunch. It’s not good to work at home. It can be really boring. I don’t see other people – I just have my cat to talk to. And it’s not a very healthy life, because I sit at my computer all the time. When I don’t know what to write, I sometimes get up and go for a long walk, or make a cup of tea. I can listening to music while I walk – that’s cool – but I think I’d like a different job. I’m quite interested in being a lawyer, or maybe I can work in an office.
