Let me tell you about my best friend, Gabri. Gabri was born in Cordoba and he moved to La Zenia ten years ago. We were in the same class at school, and that's how I got to know him.

Gabri is tall and slim. He has short, straight, brown hair and dark green eyes. When you meet him, he's very funny, and when he's confident, he makes many jokes, but sometimes he can be a bit heavy.

Gabri's main interests are football and rugby. He enjoys going to football matches and dreams of becoming a singer one day. He sings songs and plays football every day, and rugby once a month.

In short, Gabri is an amazing boy and a good person. You should definitely meet him!

PELICULAS

When I was young, I watched the classic horror films like Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th.

I don't really find them scary at all. I think the scariest sort of films are the ones that are very tense, like Hitchcock films.
