Palermo, 13 maggio 2000
Caro Killian,
La mia insegnante di inglese mi ha dato il tuo indirizzo. Mi chiamo Martina e ho quindici anni.
Faccio il terzo anno del liceo linguistico. Mi piacciono molto le lingue: studio l’inglese, il francese
e il tedesco.
Ho una sorella gemella e un fratello più grande che ha 18 anni. Mio padre è meccanico e mia
madre ha un negozio di scarpe.
Questa è la mia giornata: vado a scuola dal lunedì al sabato; le lezioni cominciano alle 8.00 e
finiscono alle 14.00, ma il sabato finiscono alle 13,00. Dopo la scuola torno a casa, pranzo e poi
faccio subito i compiti. Poi, se ho tempo, faccio cose differenti: esco con gli amici, suono il
pianoforte o ascolto la musica alla radio. Il martedì e il giovedì alle 19.00 vado in piscina.
La sera guardo la televisione, leggo un libro o parlo al telefono con un’amica.
E tu? Scrivimi e dimmi tutto di te!
