My name is Maria and I come from Spain. I am studying English at a school in London. I’m not very good in languages but I need English to work on tourism.
I’m fond of travelling and I like meeting people. Last Saturday my neighbour invited me to a party. It was kind of him to invite me. My neighbour’s brother is married to a Spanish girl.
I go to the cinema quite often — it depends on the film. I’m also interested in art, so I often visit art galleries and museums.
The people are very nice to me here and they don’t make fun of my accent. Perhaps my English is improving!
