's Letter

Dear family, With this letter I will try to introduce myself as best I can, describing what kind of guy I am, what I do in life and what I like to do, showing you my hobbies and interests. I am R. and I live in a small town in the north of Italy together with my beautiful family. My family is made up of four people who are my dad, my mom, my sister and me. The relationship I have with my parents is a beautiful one, made of very open dialogues and conversations but also many experiences lived together, such as trips and holidays. One of the main characteristics is the solid trust that allows us to discuss delicate topics without fear of conflicts and misunderstandings. Throughout my life they have always tried to make sure I don't miss anything. I do a lot of interesting activities with them that certainly help improve our bond. With my dad I often find myself watching football matches on TV as we support the same team but we also like to watch motorbike, car and even ski races, sports that he himself taught me since I was little. With my mom, on the other hand, I really like helping to prepare various typical dishes that can vary from starters to desserts. The relationship I have with my sister is a mix of affection and competition. Since we were little there have been moments of disagreement, but these conflicts have always been followed by laughter and quick reconciliations. Despite these small disagreements, over time a deep bond has developed made of mutual trust and mutual respect. With my sister I spend the evenings watching different TV series or movies that then lead us to great conversations about what we have seen and thought. The last member of the family is me. I consider myself a responsible, tidy, polite, quiet boy but sometimes also curious that brings me something positive such as the deepening of certain topics both scholastic and extra. As for my school life, I attend a scientific high school of applied sciences where the subjects are mathematics, physics, science and computer science. I decided to take this path precisely because the subjects I love most are precisely these that could also be useful in the future for choosing a university. On an extracurricular level, there are several activities that particularly fascinate me. One of these is definitely football, which is one of my greatest passions that was passed on to me since my early years by my father and that over time has taken a fundamental part of my heart, so much so that it has become my sport that I practice three times a week including the weekend match. However, there are also other different activities that I like to do in my free time such as listening to music from the vinyls of my favorite artists, going out with my friends on the weekend and also watching the football matches of my favorite team on television. A typical day for me starts at seven in the morning when I wake up to get ready to face a busy morning of school. Since my house is very close to the school I can easily get there on foot. Once the morning is over I go back home where I prepare lunch and sometimes even one for my dad. In the afternoon I mainly dedicate myself to studying and homework for the following days' subjects, always trying not to arrive on the last day with a big workload. Towards the evening my mom takes me to soccer practice which usually takes place between six and seven thirty. Tired I go back home where I eat, review for tests and finally relax in bed watching a TV series. My cover letter ends here and I wanted to thank you warmly for your attention and I hope above all to be able to tell you much more about me and what I bring from Italy. Kind regards R.
