Otherwise, sometimes comedies if I want to laugh. Horror films? Why not but I’m not a fan and usually I think that they are a bit stupid but like everybody, I think it could be pleasant to watch a horror film with friends for a laugh.

Name : HOLUB First name : Charlotte Age : 16 Adress : 115 rue benoît molin, 73000 Chambéry E-Mail : [email protected]

My hobbies:

I like playing volleyball and badminton. I’m keen on listening to music and watching films. I feel free, and in another world. I listen more to French rap and US rap. I’d like to go to some concerts. I like rapper’s lyrics, because sometimes the lyrics are very beautiful, especially the writing of the singer “soprano”. Sometimes I listen to another kind of music, for example emocore, with my favourite group “escape the fate” and “bullet for my valentine”. I love almost every kind of music. I think all the songs are special and worth listening to. In the evening, when I’m alone in my bedroom, I like dancing, when I listen my I-pod. After that I’m tired and it’s easier to sleep. During the week-end, either I go out, or I watch a movie. When I go out, I see my friends, and when I stay at home I watch a movie on my brother’s computer. I enjoy “stupid” American movie like “Mean girls”, “American pie”, “American girl”, “Lucky girl”... but I like action movie too. I’m very afraid by horror movies, but I see them when I’m with my friends. I think I’m not the only one who is scared. In the afternoon, I really enjoy seeing my friends but sometimes I like staying alone at home. My future ambitions:

I have some idea of my future job, but I’m not sure. I’d like to work in a bank, but I think it’s very difficult, and I must know many things. I don’t work so much at home, so I really don’t know if I could become what I want. I realize that I don’t have the time I want so I really think about it. I’ve looking for a university, and I find it in Lyon. Now, I have to work.

Name : Kemp First name : Susan Age : 15 years old Email address : [email protected]

More about me:

I was born in Versailles near Paris but I moved to Villeurbanne and finally to La Ravoire

in 2003. In Villeurbanne we lived in town, there was a lot of pollution and noise because

our flat was beside a busy cross road and also there were lots of shops, and if we went

to go to the park we had to take the underground for five stations to the “ parc de la

tête d’Or” because there was no other place to go. In la ravoire there’s a lot of green

areas and there are mountains all around us. It’s practical because the schools, baker’s,

news agent are all within 5 minutes walk, but if I want to buy clothes, books, records I

have to go to Chambery because La Ravoire is a small town

I have two younger brothers (Nathan and Nils). We also have a cat called Cactus who’d

like to eat my two gerbil.

My hobbies:

My hobbies are music I, learn to play the flute and the piano, and I’ve been learning

music theory for five years. I like to listen to rock music.

I like to travel I have already been to Ireland, England, Spain, Italy, Germany and

Greece. I like to visit old monuments like castles or ancient theatres, and museums to

learn more about their civilisation.

I like going into town with my friends to go shopping, to go to a fast food restaurant,

to a concert or just to chat.

But I don’t like sport I find it boring and spiders because I’m afraid of them.

School:

I am a student at “ lycée du Granier” in La Ravoire. My favourite subjects are

Mathematics and History. I don’t know what I will do later because I have no ideas for

my future job. But I think I will study for a long time. My classmates this year are

Victor Cain, Sarah, Corentin and Guillaume

I was born in Chambery in Savoy. I am the second child in my family, I am the last. I have got a sister who is twenty years old this winter, but she doesn’t live with my parents and me, so I live alone with my parents. I am pig-headed and stubborn with persons whom I don’t like very much. I am someone who likes very much laughing, laughing and laughing, especially with two classmates, Eléonore Martineau and Marie Legrix, they are really fun, flash and fluo for me. My hobbies:

I’ve played basketball for eleven years, I am crazy about this sport. I played in a national championship, and I practice every day, every night, after school. During the holidays and the weekends I take advantage of many of my friends, we go out, we go to have a drink in town in Chambery in an Irish pub, called “Le Charly’s” and go shopping with my friends too. My future:

Later, I would like to work in tourism, in a travel agency because I like foreign languages very much. To speak, to master several languages is something that I would like to be able to do to leave France and live in several countries and suggest to tourists to go there.

-Family and life :

I was born in 1994 in the North West of France. All my family lives in this part of the country, but I left Normandy with my mother whose name is Emmanuelle and my sister, Clara who was born in 1988, to live in Savoy . Four years later I moved a second time to live in a flat but still in the country. This house was very far from my college and the city center then we moved a third time in July 2010 to live in the center of Chambery. Today it’s much easier to see all my friends and go out at the week end. -My likes:

The week end I like going out with all my friends and go drinking and dancing all the night in my favorite pub; Le Charly’s, it’s an Irish pub. But at the contrary I enjoy being with my boyfriend, relaxing at home. His name is Thibault and I’ve been with him since the 28 november 2008. I like eating too, I’m very greedy, and I love specially chocolate and meat… -My hobbies:

I enjoy a lot of things, but like most girls I like fashion and music, but I think I’m mad about shopping... I go to buy clothes all Saturday with my mum. I cook often for my family, and I enjoy all my dishes before serving them. School it’s not my passion but I like coming to college to see my friends… And I very often go to the cinema, particularly to see romantic films and cartoon! -My future:

Later I’d like be a lawyer or magistrate… I have to work because they are long studies!!! -My past time:

LAUGHTER. (and homework…haha!)

Name : THELLIER First name : Faustine Age : 16 Address : Route du château, 73220 ARGENTINE Mail : [email protected]

About me

My name is Faustine, I am sixteen years old and I live in Argentine, a little village in the beginning of the Maurienne valley. I have lived there for only a year because I moved a year ago from Dagneux, a little town about 25 km from Lyon where I spent all my childhood. I came here because my parents wanted to live near the mountains, but I don’t think I will stay here later. For me, the best advantage to live here is the ski resorts because I love skiing. I study in Lycée du Granier, and I am quite satisfied to be there. It is a really good school with good teachers. Moreover, many activities are proposed like dance club, theatre club, sport club... I am boarder because of my living situation and I love it. I am with really good friends and we have fun every day. The inconvenient point is about working because it is quite difficult to be concentrating with people around you, especially friends. My hobbies

My main centre of interest is sport, particularly handball. I practice it for four years. At the moment, I play in French championship in la Motte-Servolex. We have two trainings by week and match during the week-end. Before handball, I was in a gymnastic club for seven years and I made three years of modern dance and four years of break-dance. According to me, sport is like a drug : I forget all my problems and I feel free. Otherwise, I am like all the teenagers : I like meeting my friends, listening music, doing shopping... I profit by the life ! More about me

I am keen on sport, but I hate walking in the mountains with my parents who love it. I prefer sleeping or eating ice cream in front of a DVD. My future ambitions

I have no exact idea about my future job yet but I know that I would like to work in a job where I could move and have contact with people. If I could exploit English, it would be perfect because I love this language and it is one of my strong subjects at school. So, I think that commercial job, communication job or tourism job will be the best way for me.
