Dear Pen Friend.

Hello, I’m Xavi, I’m 13 years old and I’m your new pen friend. I’m a student of I.E.S. Sabadell in Sabadell. My hobbies are football and formula one. I’m good at football and maths. I’m bad at music. I’m interested in science.

I’m going to explain my typical day. I wake up at 7:50 a.m.: I have breakfast. I go to school at 8:30 a.m. and I have lunch at 13:30. I go to school again at 15:30 and at 18:30 I only train on Tuesdays and on Thursdays. I do my homework and I have dinner at 13:00. I go to bed at 00:00. That’s my typical day.

My mother is 43 years old. Her name is Antonia. My father is 45 years old. His name is Pedro. My sister is 18 years old. Her name is Marta. My grandfathers and grandmother are 73, 70 and 78 years old. Their names are Jose, Juana and Ramon. My other grandmother is dead.

I’ve got a pet. It’s a dog. Its name is Flufly. It can run and swim but it can’t fly. It’s very beautiful. It’s a Yorkshire.

Today in Can Rull, it’s cold and light rain shower but it isn’t sunny and foggy. It’s cool and windy. Yesterday, it was cold and cloudy.

At school, we learn maths, Catalan, Spanish, English, science, geography, history,

physical education… My favourite subject is physical education. My teachers are Joan, Ester, Montse, Josep, Carol, Josep Mª., Xavi F…

I would like to go to the beach and to go to the swimming pool on these holidays. I don’t want to do my homework on these holidays like the last holidays.

My house is normal. There’s a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom and three bedrooms. My bedroom is normal: there’s a bed, a computer, a wardrobe, a window and two shelves. It’s beautiful for me.

Best wishes

From Xavi.

Dear PenFriend.

Hello. My name is Carlos and today is my birthday. Now, I’m 14 years old. How old are you? I’m not very tall but I’m not fat, either. I’m a good worker because I help at home and I do my homework at school or I practice a sport.

This is my typical day: First I usually wake up at seven o’clock. I always have breakfast and then I brush my teeth. Then, I go to school. Next, we have two hours of class and a break. It is about 30 minutes break. After the break we go back to class and we have three lessons more on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays or two lessons on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Then I go back home and I have lunch. In the afternoon I have two lessons more but on Wednesdays and Fridays we haven’t got afternoon lessons.

My favourite subjects are science, maths and physical education. On Saturdays we don’t go to school. I do my homework and after that I usually go to play soccer with my team CAN RULL ROMULO TRONCHONI. Do you play any sport? Baseball, rugby, hockey, soccer … Last Saturday I played with my team and I scored a goal!!! I’m not very good at football but I’m interested in it. It is my passion.

I’ve got a lot of friends. My best friends are You, Jordan, Eric, Xavi, Christian… I surf on internet with them or I play with my console. Finally I have dinner at 10 o’clock, it is a light dinner. After that I watch T.V. My favourite programmes are quiz shows and cartoons.

I love music, punk and rock music. My favourite groups are Satanic Surfers, Blink 182, Lag Wagons…. They are the best!!! You can watch them in www.youtube.com.

Send me photos, please.

Best wishes

Carlos.

I’m a boy and I’m 14 years old. I am tall and thin. I have got brown and short hair. I have got brown eyes, too. My mouth is a little big.

I live with my parents and my brother in our house. My mother is short. She isn’t blonde but she has got brown straight hair. She is 38 years old. My father isn’t tall. He is short and he has got a very short hair. He is 44 years old. My brother isn’t tall and he has got short hair. He is 9 years old. I had a bird but he died. He could fly and he was singing all day. He couldn’t swim and play the piano.

My house is big. It has got a big kitchen where we have our meals. My house also has got four bedrooms and two bathrooms. There is a sitting room with a television.

What is your favourite food? My favourite food is meat with potatoes. I don’t like vegetables and I hate lentils.

My hobby is sports. I’m interested in football and basketball. I’m good at football and I’m good at handball, too.

My school is IES Sabadell. It is big and now it is new. We have had works of remodelling in our school for two years. Now, they are finishing works. We mustn’t eat or drink during the lessons. My school starts at half past eight and it finishes at half past five.

This is my typical day. I wake up at half past seven (except on Sundays). I have milk and biscuits for breakfast. Then, I go to school. I always have lunch at home. After I go back to school for my afternoon lessons. I often go out of school at ten minutes to five and I go to Barcelona by train to do my football training. I usually arrive at home at ten o’clock. We often have dinner at ten past ten. After dinner I do my homework and I go to sleep.

Next holidays I will go to Italy. We must play a football match in a competition but it is not quite sure.

Best wishes

I don’t like making beds in my house but I help to my mother. My mother always says, “You should make beds”. My favourite household job is cooking.

My typical day is: I normally wake up at half past seven. I have milk but I haven’t biscuits for breakfast. Next I go to my school on foot. My school starts at half past eight every day but it finishes at noon at one or two o’clock depending on the day. Later I have lunch at home. Some afternoons I go back to school at half past three and the lessons finish at half past five.

Well, this is my world. Tell me about your world.

Best wishes,
