Hi Sergio, my name's Manoli. I'm from Torre-Pacheco, but I live in Roldán. I'm an unemployed, I'm looking for a job, but It's being very difficult, there are a lot of people unemployed. I study English on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays in Torre-pacheco with a teacher; and I study Italian at home, I don't really study, I read every day and in this way I won't forget this language which I learnt when I was living there. I would like to know English as I speak Italian, because English is the most important language in the world; and I also can improve my job if I speak English. I have a small family, I have a sister, she lives in Bologna (Italy) with her husband, She's a computer programmer and He's an engineer. My father is a driver and my mother is a shop assistant. I like cycling, running, swimming, etc...

Yours sincerely,

Manoli Alcaraz.
