Bernat
Hello !!
My name is Bernat. I’m nineteen years old. I live with my parents and I work with them in the morning. I have a sister but she lives in another city. However, I study in La Llagosta, my home is in Montmelo -very near la Llagosta- where I have my friends. I always go to school in the afternoon by train though now I’m trying to get my driving license to go to school by car.
I’m studying electronic development, this is my first year.
I want to learn English because it is a universal language.
In my free time I read books, ride a bicycle, listen to music, watch films, play the bass and the guitar. Three times a week I play basketball. I’ve been doing this sport since I was ten years old, but last year I broke my knee and I started again. I play the bass in a rock band although we haven't rehearsed for a long time because of the school. At night, when there is nothing interesting to watch on TV, I play Playstation 3 or see a film.
At the weekends I go out in the evening, I do some gardening at home or I ride my bicycle in morning.
Have you got anything in common with me ? , Bernat.
These is me playing with my band:

Henrieke
Heey!
My name is Henrieke, and I'm 16 years old. I live in a village near Veendam, called Spijkerboor. I've lived here since I was 4 years old.
I'm in Havo4, on the Winkler Prins.
I cycle to school everyday, I leave at 7.10 and school starts at 8.00..
I live with my parents and little sister, who is 14 years old and she also does Havo. We also have a cat, his name is Tijger, which means tiger in Dutch C: We always used to go to Norway in the holidays, so I've never been to Spain!
When I'm not at school I like hanging out with friends, having fun, drawing, taking photos or listening music. I like reading books, too. I mostly listen rock and indie and I like going to concerts. I have a job, but most of the time, I only work at Saturday, except for the holidays.
After Havo I want to go to the Academy of Arts, because I'm really into art and culture. And I'd really like to travel for one year, or go on exchange.
I'm really excited to go to Spain, because I've never been there, and I really like travelling and meeting new people.

Hi everyone!
My name is Nina. I'm 15 years old. I'm a student of the Winkler Prins college. And I'm in Havo4.
I live in a house in Veendam with my parents, brother and sister. I have always lived in Veendam. My sister is 12 years old and my brother is 9 years old. I also have pets, a dog and a hamster. And we have fish in a pond.
I go to school everyday, i go by bike. It's about 15 minuten from my house. School starts everyday at 08:00.
In my free time i like doing a lot of different things, like playing volleyball, I train 3 times a week. And almost every saturday I have a match. I also like MSN, hanging out with friends, having fun, watching tv and i love music. I almost like every kind of music, pop music, house music especially. I also have Twitter and Facebook.
I really love the summer. Because of the weather and the sun. And because of the vacation. In the vacation we go on holiday to another country. Last summer i went to France. Next summer I hopefully go to Italy or Danmark and my best friend is going with me. So I'm really excited about it!
And the exchange.. It's my first time i go on an exchange. I think it's a great opportunity. And i think it's a lot of fun and hope there's much to learn. And i love Spain!
I hope to see you soon!
xx From Veendam,
Nina.

Title?
Hello, my name is Óscar and I am 17 years old (for the moment). I am currently studying 1st batxillerat for the second time (A levels in technology) ... because I'm repeating (obviously I studied "a lot"). From 8:00h to 14:30h, I live in the INS Marina, but otherwise I have a beautiful home to sleep just 5 minutes from school.
I live with my parents, my sister of 14 years old and my pets: My dog Trina, a giant Schnauzer, my cat Coco and Gris, a rabbit. The birds: a magpie, and, approximately 15-20 parakeets. I can’t forget the fishes, turtles, hamsters and my favorite: My two big-spiders (Taran and Tula, because in Spanish a big-spider is a tarantula). Unfortunately, you can’t meet them because they will die before the exchange. Also I have a Geko (like a salamander) and Pogona (like a smaller iguana).
In my free time, when I'm not taking care of the animals, walking the dog or on the computer, I like being with my friends and walking around, watching movies and basically laughing. I like any kind of music, so I listen to the radio and do not know what else to write ... so... Bye
From Spain,
Óscar
