My parents are both teachers. I love sport. I play football and basketball a few times a month and I watch all the best matches on TV. My favourite food is
Mexican. I’m very lucky because my brother works in a Mexican restaurant, so I eat there when I visit my family. I study Italian in my free time because one day I want to live in Italy. Please write and tell me about yourself.
