Dear host family (Guys please could you correct my mistakes ?Just correct what you want) First thing first thanks for taking some time to read my letter . Okay so , I’m supposed to write a about myself so that you get me know me a little bit better . My name’s Francesco, I’m 17 and as you probably already know (I guess) I’m an High School Italian student. This is my fourth year of studies at the Blaise Pascal, in Reggio Emilia and if I were to describe my course I’d say that it would be something like IT though it’s not exactly the same thing . Anyway we study programming languages , how computer works …. You know this sort of stuff .I grew up here in Northern Italy even though both of my parents are from the southern… but they moved here for work-related reasons. My Dad, Michele, is from Naples and he owns a bakery shop with his brothers Marcello and Antonio while my mum’s from Calabria and she work as an employee in a “Helmet Factory”. They don’t actually build the helmets but they have to “print “ the design of the helmets on them like those tattoos that fade after a couple of days (though it goes without saying that what they print on the helmet has to last more than just 3-4 days ahah) . Cristian is my little brother but we don’t look alike , he’s skin is a lot darker than mine( like my dad’s) and his body frame is a lot larger than mine by that I mean that his bones are bigger than mine… Okay now let’s talk a little bit about what my interests are . So first off I like swimming , though I decided to stop few months ago for a bunch of reasons... at the moment I’m going to the gym, I’ve noticed that all the guys who swim competitively got huge backs, I bet they do some kind of strength training thus I decided that now I’m just gonna try to focus on building some strength . On sunny days or on Sundays afternoon’s I usually train at the park with a bunch of guys ( pullups mainly ) and before it gets dark we go for a run … I don’t want to completely lose my endurance . Okay so aside from that I don’t really have anything else weird or interesting to say . I enjoy listening to music , watching Tv shows/movies and hanging out with friends as the majority of people do, so …yeah that’s pretty much it when it comes to what I do in my spare time. Mhh you know what, here’s another weird thing about me, even though I’m Italian I’m definitely not that great of a cook.. I still got 2 months before I get there so don’t worry I’ll try to get my cooking skills to the next level . (right now I’m level ....
