Dan+G.

This page will be for Dan G. and Maura M. to have discussions. __**Topic One: Introduction Letter**__

Dear E-Pal, Hi name is Dan G. and I live in San Diego, California, United States of America. San Diego is located as far south-west as you can go. I live right next to the Pacific Ocean. What party of Italy do you live in? I attend Patrick Henry High School. What is the name of your school? I’m in 9th grade. 9th grade is the beginning of what is called “high school”. High school consists of 4 grades: 9th grade, 10th grade, 11th grade, and 12th grade. What grade are you in, and if you don’t have grades, what is your school educations system called? I have a couple of hobbies that include fishing for bass, trout, and ocean fish. I also like to play golf, and to play baseball. Do you have hobbies? My favorite food type is Mexican…but I also really like Italian food. My favorite Mexican foods are enchiladas and tacos. Have you ever tried Mexican food? (If you haven’t you really should). My favorite Italian food is cheese ravioli, but I also like pepperoni pizza. Is your favorite food type Italian? Tell me anything else you want to about yourself. Talk to you soon, Dan

Dear Dan, HI!! My name's Maura and I live in Cene, a small village near Bergamo, in the northern part of Italy. I don't live next to the ocean (although I'd like it very much!!!) but I love my little village because I've been always living here and now I think it's my "home". I'm 16 (next 4 May I'll be 17! ...remember to say me "happy birthday"..ok? and when is your birthday?) and I attend Liceo Scientifico E.Amaldi in Alzano Lombardo. In Italy, when you're 6 you go to the Elementary School, then when you're 11 you go to the Medium school... At the end of the Medium School you can choose the school you want. for exemple, I've choosen Liceo Scientifico, where tho most important matter is maths (I'm good at it but I don't like it at all and you?)...but there are also a lots of other types of school you can choose, it depends on what you are interested to do when you'll grow up...I don't know what will I be when I'm adult and you? have you got some ideas? maybe I'll be a teacher or maybe not! I'm really sorry but I don't like fish at all (you fish,don't you?)..I prefere pizza!!! I think italian food it's fantastic!!! I like pasta, ravioli and a lots of other things I can't remember at the moment! I've never tried Mexican food, but I promise that I'll do it, soon or late! What's tacos? Can you explain me please?(thanks!) In the spare time I like playing clarinet, reading and watching films, but the thing I like the most is going out with my friend. I've got a lot of friends, some of them are very crazy (sometimes they do a play called "jump on the cypresses" and guess what they do!)!!! If I've made any mistakes, could you tell me how to say them better? ...thanks!! I hope you'll write me soon, Maura:) P.S. I've forgotten the most important thing!!!! "Dan" is the short form of Daniel or Danielle?? This is a photo of my class!!!! (we are 24 girls and only 4 boys!) ... on the right you can see our english teacher!
