About Me: Irene's Personal Profile

This is me! My name is Irene, and I am 14 years old. I was born on August 21st, 2007. Currently, I live in a small town called Arroyo de San Serván with my parents and my sister, Ana. I study at the high school IES Tamujal.

In my free time, I am learning English and I have lessons three times a week. I love listening to music too, especially reggaeton and trap. I enjoy watching Netflix series because some of them are very funny and entertaining.

I don't usually go out during the week because I'm studying and doing homework, but at the weekend I usually go out with my friends. I also like shopping with my friends, although I don't like shopping online. Tonight, I'm going out for dinner with all my friends.
