Hi Alex

How are you?! I’m fine. I’m at school in London now and it’s really great. I’m in a class with ten students. We’re from lots of different countries.

Olga’s from Russia. She’s fifteen and I like her very much. She’s my best friend in the class. Her brother Andrej is also in our class. He’s a great tennis player and I like him too. Isabella’s Spanish and her English is very good. Her favourite band is Coldplay so we like the same music!! Marek’s from Poland. I don’t like him very much. He isn’t very nice.

Marcelo’s from Italy. We’re from the same city – Roma! His English is fantastic. Akiko is a Japanese girl. She’s sixteen and she’s from Tokyo. We’re in the same family here in London. There’s a Chinese girl in our class. Her Chinese name is very difficult so her English name is Lucy. And then Lisa is from Switzerland. She’s only fourteen and she’s from Basel. Her favourite language is French, not English! And finally Fred … he’s from Belgium. His best friend in the class is Andrej.
