Jeg driver ikke idrett fordi jeg foretrekker å mosjonere. Jeg
liker å jogge om morgenen og trene ærobic om kvelden. Jeg er
flink til å trene ærobic, men jeg er ikke flink til å drive
idrett. Jeg følger litt med i idrett på TV og i avisen. Jeg
liker fotballaget i Buenos Aires best, og det heter "Racing Club
of Avellaneda."  Fotballspilleren jeg liker best er Maradona.
Sønnen min, Ariel, er idrettsutøver. Han driver med TAEKWONdo
og har svart belte.

Hilsen, Graciela
