Uriel+M.

Dear E-pal,

I'm a student at Patrick Henry High School. My birthday is July 6 1992, I'm 14. I'm very happy that I get to chat with you because I never get to travel and now I get to talk to someone in Italy. That is so cool! I hope you're exited to chat with me as I am with chatting with you. The class I enjoy the most is English. English is one of my favorites because I learn so much in that class. I learn more because English is my second language. I get to learn so much more than what other people think you learn in this class. Also, my friends are in that class and I have such a nice teacher. So what class do you like the most? I have 2 dogs, and 1 cat as pets. Do you have any pets? If you do what are they? In my free time I like to just chill out with some friends, and maybe go see a movie or just chill at the mall. What do you like to do on your free time? Also, something big in the U.S.A. is television and my favorite television show is "The Simpsons". What is your favorite television show? Do you like movies? I like horror movies. My favorite series are "Saw" and "Final Destination" What's your favorite series of movies?

Your E-pal, Uriel M.

Hi Uriel! I’m Barbara, I’m a student at the “Liceo Amaldi” in Alzano, a city near Bergamo. I’m attending the Third of Five years of studies, so (if i don’t lose any year!!!!), I will take a degree in summer 2009. Then I think I will go at the University. My birthday is March 26 1990, so I’m 16. Me too I’m very happy! You don’t travel very much? Neither I, unfortunately…! And so I think it is a great occasion to improve my English and know something about San Diego, America and your customs! I like English very much, maybe because the first time that I really appreciate this language, it has been reading songs lyrics! ...Music is everything for me. But, music is different from Music! In fact the first one is the one that is made only for money, without feeling, unlike the second one! In fact, frankly, I really really really (really really!) don’t like people as Eminem, Hilary Duff and similars... If they are among your idols, forgive me, I respect your choice, it’s only a matter of tastes! I play the guitar, since I was 12. I played the acoustic guitar untill two years ago, when I started playing the Electric guitar. Nowadays I’ve got three guitars, but i use only two of these. A Takamine (acoustic guitar) and a Fender Stratocaster made in U.S.A.(!!!!). In this last period I’ve spent a big part of my spare time with my Strato, therefore, I’m not going out very much... I spend my free time doing music, but I also go out with my friends. We usually go out at Saturday and Sunday. We decide at the moment where to go: cinemas, pubs, irish pubs, live concerts, and places like these. Do you play any instruments? What kind of Music do you listen? I listen a kind of music a bit...old.. but ageless!!! Here there are my favourite groups/artists, in order of preference: Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Whitesnake, Rainbow, Guns n’ Roses, Queen, the Who, Pearl Jam, the Darkness, Jimi Hendrix, the Doors, Racer X, Dream Theater, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Oasis, Cranberries, Red Hot Chili Peppers, ZZ Top, ecc... Two years ago I had a dog, but we were obliged to send it to another family because he was very aggressive and he was a dangerous, big German shepherd! (as Rex...) he attacked me, he bit my ankle, so we decided to sell it away… Now I havent any pets, unfortunately, but I’d like having one! I like doing sport, in winter I go skiing with my brother (downhill skiing and alpinism) and in summer I go climbing mountains although I’m still learning! It’s funny! Have you ever climbed?! I have a brother and a sister. My brother’s name is Massimo and he is 32. My sister, Romina is 35, she is married since 2001 and she has two children: Davide (he is 2 years old) and Marco, who has only 10 month! Yes, it’s a bit unusual our age difference... Have you got any brothers or sisters? Are they older than you or not? I dont spend a lot of time looking at TV, but noboby can stole me “the Simpson” show!! Oh yeah, they’re wonderful... and I really like also “the Griffin” maybe more than Simpsons... I like horror films, but I used to watch them some years ago... I like Nicole Kidman movies... but I also like movies with Steven Seagal, Silvester Stallone(yeah Rambo!), Vin Disel (have you seen Fast and Furious?!), and others... Have you ever seen Bud Spencer and Terence Hill movies?! I like them! At the moment, I can’t remember others movies... About TV series, I like these: Dottor House, Grey’s anatomy, Nip/Tuck, Lost, O.C., Desperate Housewives.

... greetings from Italy, Rock ‘n’ roll! bye, Barbara
