I hate olives, getting up early on the weekend, violence, war, injustice, and washing the dishes, and clean my house


My dream is to travel around the world, I want to graduate from Engineering School and be a good engineer, the best. I also want to learn to speak holandes. I’d love to work in an important company and buy a house, get married and start a family.

About English, I love to learn new languages. I think English is very important. I listen to music and watch TV in English. It’s a good exercise. I also chat on the internet and have friends in many countries. I can write well, but I need to practice more. The most difficult for me is listening.

I need to practice more. I hope I can make a lot of friends and practice speaking
