Nuria on the right and Clara on the left
Hi! I’m Clara and I’m 13, my birthday is on December 26th.
I was born in 1992 in Barcelona, I live in St. Cugat del Vallès.
I have brown eyes ,brown hair and I’m not very tall.
My parents are Rosa Mª and Josep Mª, my grandparents are Clara and Manolo,(they live in Galicia), my brother is Marc, he’s 20.
I live in a big flat, on the second floor; I have a normal bedroom with a bed, two tables, two wardrobes, three lamps and two windows; through it I can see the street, some cars, some and houses…
At the weekends I like to meet my friends, go to Barcelona shopping, read, surf in the internet and sleep…
I like sports like football, basket but I prefer swimming. I don’t like the school but I learn some interesting things and it’s fun during break.
I'm very happy because I went to England,I think I can really understand more English now.I like doing radio programmes too.It's cool!
Working on this project has been exciting and very useful.Before we went to England,English was only something you have to learn at school.Now,I think it is very useful,and my teacher says I have a good accent.It's fantastic.
In Plymouth my family was very nice and I lived near Sara,so when Sara was ill.I took a get well card to her from all the class.English people send cards for everything.It's a nice tradition.
