Fortunately, I have never had a very serious illness. I have never broken a bone, and I have never had an operation. I have never had a fever higher than 39 degrees.

My name is Sofia and I have studied English for five years. I have never studied any other language, but this year I have started learning Spanish too! It has been difficult but exciting.
