Hi! How are you? I´m fine. I play tennis in a female team twice a week (monday and saturday) with my friend. In the weekend I go to the band, I play the saxophone and sometime we play in a concert. In this concert I enjoy a lot. For the night I go out with my friends, we go to the cinema, to the park and the discoteque. This summer we have many activities to have a good time. I hope see you soon. Bye kisses.
