hello boys and girls in Aversa….

My name is ERIKA, but my frieds call me only Eri. I´am 17 years old. I live in a small village called Brehov, it is near Trebišov, where I go to school.

Life in a village is very good, because there are more things what I and my frieds can do in our free time, such as in swimming in the summer. I and my frieds or my sisters go to a football match in our village, too. It is very funny. =)

But in the summer first we do some housework. We have got a big garden, and I help to my parents in our garden.

On Fridays and Saturdays evenings I and my friends go out to the village.

We go to the pub, we play biliards, drink some drinks and talk.

In my free time I dance, play some games and sports, and play the guitar. I´ve danced for 4 years now. I dance hip-hop, or ballroom dancing, and folk dance. We go feature in our village and in other country such as Hungary.

I hope you´ll like my letter, and you write me soon.

Bye-bye…with love your friend Erika..=)

Hi Erika,

Thank you for the mail, Brehov seems a calm village.
