Kariann+P.

Dear Beatrice,

Hi, how are you? My name is Kariann. I’m 15 years old. I’m from San Diego, California here in the United States. It is beautiful here and pretty fun. I bet it’s wonderful over there in Italy. Matter of fact how is it? How’s the weather? Our weather is hot in the daytime and cold at night. Do you have any sisters or brother? Well I have one little sister. Her name is Alexis. I go to Patrick Henry High School as freshmen. We have 4 years in high school. For example, 9th grade are freshmen, 10th grade are sophomores, 11th grade are juniors, and 12th grade are seniors. I really enjoy high school it’s pretty fun. Are you in high school? If so, are you having a good time? I enjoy P.E. (Physical Education) because it’s a lot of fun and it’s the best way to stay fit. Also, you get to hang out with your friends and play all kinds of sports. Sometimes we play football and basketball. Why kind of sports do you like to play? Do you like to hang out with your friends? If so, where do you guys go? I like to go to the movies with my family. We just recently watched Stomp The Yard and Dream Girls. It’s pretty good. What kind of movies do you like to watch? Do they have like a really popular genre of movies over there? Can you name one? Is the shopping mall over there big? The mall we have over here is pretty big not really though. Just big enough to have great store. What store do you like to shop at? I like to shop at Macy’s, Hollister and Demo. Well I’m going to end this letter short. Hope to hear from you soon. Talk to you later.

Sincerely,Kariann P.

Hi!! How are you?? I’m fine thanks! I’ m Beatrice and I’ m 16 years old. I’m from Bergamo, a town in the north of Italy; here the weather is not very good, especially in this time because the temperature is very cold… I envy you because you live in a beautiful city, near the sea and with a fantastic weather! I go to school every day, from Monday to Saturday! My school is very demanding; I attend the 11th grade but in Italy there are 15 grade and not 14 as in San Diego, therefore I have to attend even 2 years and half. I live with my mother and I haven’t got any brothers or sisters, even if I’d like have a major sister! During the day I do my homework and in the weekend I hang out with my friends, for example we go to downtown or we loves go to shopping centre.. so sometimes we go to the cinema but rarely because we loves stay out! We have some shopping centre but we prefer go to downtown to shopping because we meet very people who knows! Usually we shop to H&M, Zara, Accessorizes and many others shops who in this moment I don’t remember! When I watch TV I loves watching The O.C. ..do you know??.. I love Seth Cohen!...and you?? But I watch also Grey’s Anatomy, CSI, Doctor House, The Simple life, … Then I like listening to music, I like Madonna, Green Day, Simple Plan, James Blunt, Justin Timberlake, Oasis, and Robby Williams, Nelly Furtado,… Do you know them?? Do you like them?? What kind of music do you listen and what kind of movies do you like to watch? If I have made any mistakes, could you tell me how to say them better?? Now I say goodbye you and I hope you write me soon!! Best wishes Beatrice
