My name is Martina Di Marco. I was born on April 10, 2002 and I live in Viterbo, a small town near Italy's capital Rome. I am a third grader at a local elementary school. I like China a lot, and now I can count from 1 to 100 in Chinese. I also know how to use chopsticks. I have just begun to learn Pinyin (Chinese-language phonetics), and I hope I can visit China next year. I like swimming, pink toys, spaghetti, Chinese food and McDonald's... I want to be a hairstylist when I grow up! Photo taken on November 7, 2009 shows a black cat in a park. [Xinhua]
