I’m from Madrid, the capital of Spain, but now I live in Barcelona. This is me in the photo with my best friends, Ana and Pedro. We’re all 16 years old. We went to the same primary school. Ana still lives in Madrid, but Pedro and I live in Barcelona and go to the same school. The school is very strict and we have to work hard to pass all the exams. In our free time we both do in-line skating, our favourite hobby, or we sometimes go to the cinema. I don’t speak English very well, but can we be email friends? Are you interested? Would love to hear from you, please write back. Mariella :-) Emojis: You can use emojis in informal emails and online conversations.
