I do not like sports. I play 6 instruments. I have a boyfriend. I volunteer at a homeless shelter. I teach piano to homeless people. I do volunteer work because my religion calls for it. My father was a professional violinist. I love playing the piano, but just for myself. I don't like playing piano in front of an audience. I travel. I enjoy Travis Scott's music. I have stayed in Italy for a week.  I liked the food and music in Italy. I have not attended any basketball games.
I go to basketball practice. I have an older sister. My mother is a dentist and volunteers at a clinic. My mother is my best friend. I've started in a diner part time. My older sister is going to learn how to play piano. I live three blocks' distance from the homeless shelter. My sister leaves a three-block distance from the homeless shelter, too. I would like to volunteer at a homeless shelter. I like Travis Scott's music. I would love to see Travis Scott in concert and to travel to Italy. I am out of school for the summer.  I am in a summer league for basketball. I have all-staters on my basketball team.  My basketball team is really good. I mostly play the second guard position in basketball.  If we win our district competition, we could play an Italian team. My basketball tournament will be in Texas this year and in Europe next year. I'm excited to go to Italy.  I want my parents to let me go to Italy.  My neighbor, Mr. Puccini, has relatives in Italy that will help me get cheap lodging.
How did your basketball practice go?  Does it look like you'll win the next game? It went pretty okay! i'm hopeful we have a shot at winning but it depends on how good the other team is, which we don't know yet. are you a sports fan at all? I do watch MLB and NBA. I played little league when I was kid. Some of my relatives have played in the minors. We were really a baseball family growing up. that's awesome! baseball is the one thing I don't watch much, probably because I still do basketball in the summer. that's so cool that your family has played professionally! did you ever get to go behind the scenes or have VIP access because of that? Once when there was a regional championship game the local team was playing in. Are you excited about possibly competing in Italy? that's so amazing! you must have been so exited to attend! and yeah I think it will be an amazing experience. I never dreamed sports could take me across the world, you know? I lived in Europe for a while when I was a teenager, visited France and Italy. You'll just love it! You might even decide to stay there for a time when you're an adult. There are jobs available for English teachers. that's really cool to know. do you speak italian or french? I speak a little of both and read a bit more than a little, but I don't speak well enough to get along in a conversation unaided by a dictionary or phrase book. when you lived there did others use english with you mostly, then? Pretty much. English is the preferred second language in much of Europe. It used to be French. I hadn't realized that. guess I don't need to brush up on my italian after all!
