A ntonio Bander as
Antonio's strong jawline means he's a very determined kind of person. At the same time, he's probably quite romantic, because he's got a large nose with a soft tip. His high cheekbones are a sign that he loves to travel, likes adventure and change, and gets bored very easily.

LETTER
This is a letter from Dave. Dave is an American exchange student in Great Britain, who is living in Frank's home, while Frank is staying in the U.S. with Dave's family.
Dear Frank,
Hi! How are you getting along in the States? I'm having a wonderful time here in England with your family and friends. Everyone is so friendly, and hospitable. They all welcome me into their homes and treat me as one of the family.
I've been very surprised by English people. I thought they would all be very conservative and traditional. Instead I've found them very open to new ideas. I also thought English people would be rather shy. But most people seem very outgoing and self-confident, almost as much as Americans. I find the English very tolerant too. Nobody here seems to mind very much how you dress or what you say. Of course, there are some narrow-minded people too. But I don't think there are as many as there are back home in the States.
I often think of you in my home and what you must be thinking about Americans. I imagine you think we're too hard-working and too materialistic. I never realized how much Americans talk about money, until I came to Britain. And you probably also think that Americans are very rude compared with the British. I don't think we're really so rude, it's just that we sometimes forget to use all those polite phrases like' do you mind' and 'could and 'may.
One difference I have noticed is that the British don't seem as optimistic as Americans. In America we always think we can change things and make them better. But I get the feeling that the British have a rather pessimistic view of life.I'm feeling lazy, so that's all I'm going to write now. I look forward to hearing your impressions of the US.
Yours, Dave
