I come from Bologna, a city in the north of Italy. I’m a student at the University of Bologna. I’m studying modern languages - English and Russia. I also know a little Spanish, so I can speak four languages. I’m enjoying the course a lot, but it’s really hard work. The course started 3 years ago. I live at home with my parents and my sister. My brother went to work in the United States last year. After I graduate, I’m going to work as a translator. I hope so, anyway. C©u I: 10 ®iÓm. Mçi c©u chän ®óng ®îc 2 ®iÓm. 1. B 2. C 3. C 4. A 5.
