Dear Julie, my name is Simona and I'm italian. I live in Cervia, which is a little town in the north of Italy.

I'm 14 years old and I've got a brother [sister], Andrea, who is younger [older] than me. [oppure--->I've got a brother who is 10 years old] I'm quite tall [se non siete molto alti--->I'm not very tall] for my age and I've got long brown hair. I'm enclosing a photograph of myself so that you can see what I look like. I like animals a lot and I've got 2 beautiful cats called Matisse and Mir. I study at school near my home and I like Maths, Music and Art, but I'm not very good at English. Which subjects do you prefer at school? In my free time I like to play volleyball: my team is called CerviaVolley and we train 3 times a week. I also like to play on my computer and surf on Facebook. Have you got a facebook account? Maybe we could chat together sometimes! That's all for now. Write soon and tell me everthing about you and your family. Hugs and kisses, Simona.
