Angeles Hernandez- CALL and ICT Language Learning: theoretical backup and class use 
Hi Ángeles,
My name´s Rafael. I am 16 years old. I was born in al little town in Almeria, called Huércal-Overa. My father is from Madrid and my mother from Pamplona. They met in Pamplona when they were doing the degree of Medicine. I´ve got three brothers and two sisters, all of them older. They were born in Granada. When I was three, we moved to Lorca, another town in Murcia, until I was seven. After that we moved definitely to Santander. I´m studying first of high school at the institute Leonardo Torres Quevedo.
Physically, I´m of medium height, I´ve got short brown hair and green eyes, and I use lens of contact, because I prefer them to wear glasses.
I think I´m a patient person and hard-working. I´m also friendly and a bit shy, because I´m not very talkative, so I´m good listener.
In my free time I love doing sports, like playing tennis and volley-ball. I like listening to music, especially a type of music called “indie” and rock, and watching films and American TV series in English, of course!
Thanks for your attention,
Rafael
