I remember when my family and my friends,we celebrate my last new
year 10 months ago. It was a very memorable day.
There was the 31 of December. First came a friends of my fathers and
I. We dine soap and meat. After diner we preparate the grapes for the
chimes. Then all, we set in the sofas and we eat the grapes.
There were about 9 people in my house. I remember my friends and I
we laugh a lot because my sister could not eat the grapes. They was
a fun night and I felt very happy.

Hi,
I’m Maria and I’m from Catalunya. I’m 13 years old. I’ve got brown eyes
And long hair.
I like going shopping or play tennis. There are two things very different.
I live in Banyoles so I go play tennis there. I go three hours at the week.
When I go shopping usually I go at Girona because in Banyoles there aren’t
more shops.
I spend a lot of time doing homework and talking with my friends by the
mobile phone. I spend my money on top-ups for my mobile phone but I don’t
spend money with shoes.
I really want to meet girls from 13-14 years. I don’t mind your nationality,
