About me

It is time to talk about me, about my life. I am not a very special person like other people who have talents such as playing the guitar or being able to sing well (hopefully!). I am a normal person who enjoy small things of the life and also enjoy seeing how other people are happy. I am going to talk about my physique, my personality and about my hobbies and then about my life in general.

Physically, I am thin, tall and I have curly blond hair with brown eyes. I have pale skin and also I can say that I wear glasses, although only at home, because when I go out, I usually put my contact lens. Respecting my character, I am a very responsible person with my things, although sometimes I am a bit lazy;  I am friendly;  optimistic and a bit shy. I like helping people when they have problems and besides, I like see them smile. I love animals, specially dogs. I do not like so much practising sport, but I sometimes go running: also I am interested in reading romantic and mystery books.  Moreover, I love travelling but I have not been the opportunity to travel out of Spain.

Now, what can I say about my life? Well, I live in a small village of Cuenca, called Casasimarro, but it is nearer of the province of Albacete than Cuenca. However, this year I live in Murcia because I am studying the career of English Studies there. With regard to my close family, I have one elder brother called Giovanni who is 23 years old and a wonderful mother who give all for us.

They can perfectly have a normal life, since nowadays there are many ways, thanks to the advance of technology, to endure easily these sort of problems.

      At first, blind people can use of Braille alphabet to read any kind of essay, which it is a tactile writing special system for these people. Also they can be helped by guide dogs and special sticks in order to walk whatever their want. Moreover, they are a lot of modern items and accessories that let you know their data by touch such as adapted board games, reading electronic instruments and access to information, house ítems, watches and alarm clocks, etc.

      Likewise, deaf people can make use of technologies to improve their lifestyle. For example, there are amplifiers that help them to hear a bit better or if they want to watch the TV, they only have to put the subtitles. Also they can watch conferences, seminars, etc on TV using a specific interpretation of signs system together with audio description. Other technical aids that help improve daily life at home are video intercom, warning lights and vibration, etc.
