EXAMPLE OF PROJECT

FSF example for Projet #1

Salut les filles! Enchantez! Je m'appelle Augusto, et je suis un grand garçon romantique. J'aime écouter de la musique jazz et mes amis et moi aimons écrire de la poésie (poetry). Nous sommes créatifs. J'ai des cheveux bruns et des beaux yeux bruns. Ma famille et moi avons un chien. Il s'appelle Rico Suave. J'aime marcher avec Rico. Je veux rencontrer une bonne fille intéressante et gentille. Je cherche une fille qui a une belle sourire, et qui est blonde. Elle peut jouer au baseball et elle peut regarder les matchs d'hockey. J'aime lire la poésie romantique. Je veux une fille qui veut lire la poésie aussi (also). Je cherche un rapport (relationship) honnête et amusant. Je n'aime pas les filles méchantes. Je ne veux pas avoir une fille qui n'est pas contente. Aimes-tu les chiens et la poésie? Si oui, et si je t'interesse, appelle-moi! Je t'attends!
