Last night ,my father was talking about languages. He says he speaks French well,but he doesn’t. I’ve heard him speaking French: he tries to speak very quickly,and his pronuncation is terrible. But I didn’t say that.

I want to speak Italian fluently. Yesterday I talked to the Italian teahcer about my test. She said I got 4 out of 20- I did the tast very bad. I was suprised. I thought the test was easy and I answered all the questions really quickly.

The teacher said I’ll never be well at Italian, but I smiled happily at her,because she’s wrong. I’m going to learn Italian and go to live in Rome.
