Eline

Hello!

My name is Eline. I'm 16 years old and I live in the city Veendam. I go to school at the Winkler Prins, I'm now in the fourth grade. My parents are divorced, I live at both of the houses. At my mothers house I live with my mother and my younger brother he is 13 years old. When I am at my fathers house I live there also with my younger brother, my father and stephmother. I also have a younger stephsister she is also 16 and 2 stephbrothers they are 21 and 23.

I go to school by bike, it takes me 5 minutes to go to school..

When I'm not working or go to school I like to watch movies, listening to music ( most of the time I listen to rock music, but when I go out I also like house music) and having fun with friends! :)

In the future I want to study Journalism and after that I think I'm going to study politics on the university.. The subjects the I like are social science and art the subjects that i dislike are economic and maths..

I'm looking forward to go to spain, because I like to meet new people and to travel :)

Kisses,

Eline

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

Hi!

I’m Sandra. I’m sixteen years old, since last week (5^th November).

I have always lived in La Llagosta. La Llagosta is a little town, maybe it can be a bit boring, because you always see the same things, but the good thing is that you have more freedom, and it’s very near Barcelona, the big city. I live in a flat with my family, 10 minutes from school.

I’m studying technology batxillerat (A levels). I’m really interested in drawing, and in the future, I will study Architecture at the university.

In my free time, I like painting, reading, listening to music (rock music especially) chatting with my friends and going to the gym. I really like the indoor cycling class. At the weekends, I always try to be with my friends, because they are so cheerful and fun.

It isn’t the first time I am part of an exchange. In 2008, I went to Turkey, and it was a very good experience. This is why I wanna repeat.

I 'm looking forward to going to Holland, because but I love travelling!

If you come, I think you will love Barcelona, because it is a fantastic city...

See you soon!

Hi !

My name is Erica. I am only 16 years old. Next year, in August I will be 17 years old. I live in la Llagosta, at 10 min by train from Barcelona. I live with my parents and with my sister, she is 21 years old. I don't have any pets, but I love animals.

The timetable of my school is from 8:00 to 14:30. I am studing to be a scientist. I go to school by car although I live very near the school...because I am so lazy...I go to school every day except on Saturday and Sunday.

I like pop music, house music and all kinds of music more or less. In my free time I work at the library, I am a librarian, I teach basketball to 10-years-old boys, I go to an English school, I am a player of basketball and of course in my free time I surf on Facebook, I hope you know what this means. Last week, on Saturday I went to a disco, because it was de birthday of a good friend, it was relly good!

I used to swim, but I left the team because I was bored. My favourite subject at school...if I need to tell you one, is Biology I think it's interesting.

I went to Turkey with school exchange for a week two years ago. We were only 5 girls...however it was really fantastic! I love traveling and meeting people, I go abroad every year: Italy, French, Greece, Egypt, England, Germany..and I hope to go to the Netherlands!
