    I was born in Seattle, Washington on the 19th of April in 1961. Seattle is in the State
    of Washington in the United States. That was many years ago... Now, I live in
    Leghorn in Italy. I work at the British School. I sometimes go to a movie on the
    weekend. I meet my friends at the movie theater at 8 o'clock or later. In the
    summer, usually in August, I go home to visit my family in America. My family and I
    go to the beach and relax in the sun in the morning and in the afternoon! In the
