La Región - Xornal Escolar, 26th november 2008

Profile Héctor

Hello everybody,

My name is Hector and I’m 16 years old. I live in Spain, in a town called Orense. I live with my parents and my sister, she is younger than me. We live in a house in the country.
I think that the three better words to describe me are: friendly, funny and cheerful.

I like animals, so I have dogs, cats and horses. I ride my horses but now I think that for me, is less enjoying than before.
I like sports, especially, football. My favourite team is Real Madrid, but this year they aren’t winning too much matches. Some time before, I played in a team, but now, I haven’t got enough time, so I play it with my friends at weekends. I also play basketball with them.
I like rock music, like Red Hot Chilli Peppers, AC/CD, Linking Park...

Profile Sandra

Hello!

My name is Sandra. I'm 16 years old. I from Spain and I live with my parents.
The three better words to describe my personality are: merry, reliable and a bit shy at the beginning.

In my free time I go to the shopping center with my friends, often to see a film. I like listening to all types of music, meeting friends, playing basketball and some times going to the gym.
My favourite dish are pizza and spaghetti.
My favourite subjects are Maths, Chemical and English.
In the summer I spend my free time in different cities with my parents and also in my village where I have friends of different cities so we can chat about subjects that happen during the time that we are separate.

I dislike people that are egoistic, that boast a lot and the worst are who lie.
I dream with going during some months to another country like Ireland, Belgium... To improve English and know new people.

I think that this is an a very interesting project because I can know people of other countries and improve my English.

Hi!!

I’m a sociable, funny and friendly person that likes going out with friends, meeting new people and I love music and Twilight (the movie and the book). I like a lot of music, especially rock. I also like playing videogames, reading books and surfing on the internet.

I live in a flat with my parents, my brother, my cat and my dog.
I love travelling but I haven’t travelled a lot.

A friend told me about COMENIUS and it attracted me because I think it’s very interesting.

Profile Adrian

Name: Adrián González Barbosa
Age: 15 years old
I was born 24th February, 1993

I’m kind, friendly and sometimes lazy.
I live with my parents and my little sister, she is 5 years old and I spend much time playing with her, but at the end we always get angry and she cries.
I live in a small town and we haven’t got too many things to do so we usually go to the cinema or play football, but we aren’t very good so I only play to have fun and not to win or lose.

I like painting (oleo) and I have many pictures decorating my flat.
I like English and I’ve been studying it for 13 years, and I try to practice it when I travel.
I don’t practice any sport so in my afternoons I go out with friends or stay on the messenger because I hate being alone, and if I’m alone I take the phone and I call anyone. I like so much music, all kinds of music and now more hard rock like ac/dc or my favorite group “Linkin Park”.

My motivation for the Comenius is to meet other people and visit other countries with their cultures.
