north of England. He is twenty-four years old and a student at Cambridge University. He studies
French and Italian there. He loves Spanish food and eats out with friends often. He also loves
listening to music and going to the theatre in his free time. Once a month he goes to his
favourite nightclub with his friends. He likes using the Internet to chat to people. He doesnt
like cats.
I hope he writes again soon!
Lots of love,
Elise
