Bonjour tout le monde!

Je m&#39 appelle Ella et je suis originaire de Londres mais je vis a Coventry en ce moment et je vais à l&#39 université
de Warwick pour etudier l&#39 histoire.

Aussi bien que l&#39 histoire, j&#39 aime la culture française, les monuments et la nourriture en particulier!

J&#39 aime aller au vacances, les Etats-Unis ou Paris et dans l&#39 avenir je voudrais habiter aux ces pays.

Je vais au cinèma regulièrement et mes films favoris sont: Les choristes, LOL, Lolia malgré moi, Numéro quatre et la Belle et la bête.

J&#39 ai récemment
été engagée pour mon premier
boulot et je suis excitée de commencer! La loi m&#39 interesse et la politique aussi pour ma future carrière.

J&#39 aime faire du ski, la natation et l&#39 equitation parmi d&#39 autres.
