Exercise six. "My life as a student". My name is Martina, I'm sixteen years old and I study second of baccalaureate in Tenerife. Every day I got up at ten to seven, I wash my face, I dress, I breakfast, I walk the dog and I go to class. Sometimes get up is very difficult because or I don't sleep in the night or I go to bed late. My favorite subjects are art history, music and obviously english. Now I hate philosophy because came a new teacher and I don't like his way of give class. When I complete baccalaureate I hope to go at university to study a psychology career. I'm going to choose psychology career because I would like understand the mind of people.

I don't need a welcome because in a short period of time I come back to my nightmare. And isn't by study because I like learn is by the disagreeable people. I can't explain this, in this year I have to be with a lot of people that I don't like but only say hopefully I come to have a excellent notes despite all.
