Monday, September 30th, 2007
Dear Felix,
Hello from America! My name is David. I will tell you a little bit about myself.....
I have been very lucky that my career and my love of music go together. I have been playing the piano for almost 18 years and the guitar for almost 10. I graduated from Wilkes University in 2001, and I have also attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. I teach lessons to about 30 students, and play on studio recording sessions. I will also play for private parties or in small clubs, but I don’t play in bands any more. I do my own writings and recording in a variety of styles. My studio began as being just for me to make high quality recordings of my own music, but people heard about it, and it turned into a business. It used to be fun, but became work, and when it happened, it was time to move on.
Besides playing, writing, practicing, and teaching music, I love listening to it. I like all styles, including Rock, Pop, Classical, and especially Jazz. I also enjoy cooking and baking, travelling, and spending lots of time outside. I have a Dachshund named Jack who I love very much.
I realize that I am very fortunate being healthy, and doing well, so I try to help those less fortunate than myself. I do volunteer work with mentally retarded and disabled children, and also with disabled adults. One of my best friends is disabled and in a wheelchair because of an illness, and I have learned much from being around him.
Surely, I’m a person who doesn’t want to waste a minute of his life, to enjoy and experience everything I can, and try my hardest at all I do.....
Teacher:
Answer the questions and share your opinions about the letter.
Enumerate all John’s hobbies.
Can you say that he is a many-sided person? Why?
He says that he is lucky. Why? Develop your ideas.
