Devil's tear,
we'll all keep fingers crossed for you tomorrow.:-D
 
Good luck, DT! We await the good news!
 
I've just checked my grades at school...
I don't know why but from IV ginnasio to III liceo we don't have a piece of paper with our grades, we have to check them at school...

Sim, let us know when you get the results! We all know that you did well! :up:

I got them.

We use grades from 4 to 10.
from 6 to 10 they mean that you have passed
from 5 to 4 (and maybe 3) they mean you didn't enough

I have 8 in English, Latin, Greek, Gym
7 in History, Math
6 :( in Italian and Geography

I'm not one of the bests, but I think my grades are pretty good.

3 cheers for our Sim!!!!!! Congratulations, Sim! We are all proud of your accomplishments!

I find it to be a little amusing that your lowest grade was in Italian!!!! Maybe you should only speak English, Latin, and Greek from now on! ;-)

Cheers,
Amigo

I know it is strange that I have 6 in Italian, but it is because I haven't find yet a style that might be good for my new teacher...
 
Congrats, Sim!! Way to go! Wow!! You scored the highest in English....

I'd love to have 9 n English, like 3 in my class.
My English grade is lover only because I didn't very well last time we had a test (I scored only 8 1/2).
But the next year I'll:

- Have 7 or more in Italian
- Have 9 in English
- Do the PET

My scores, anyway, are good and Liceo Torquato Tasso is one of the best schools in Rome.
I'm happy :D

( And my math teacher did not have time to give us homeworks for this summer :D )

Hi Simosito.

Unbelievable... holidays are to rest, not to learn/work.. ;-)

I'm intensely proud of my lad! He got the bests as he was supposed to!:up:
Hope to see you among the bests of your school when you graduate from there!;-)

Cheers,

You have to wait a bit, about 4 years, before (and if) it'll happen...
 
Hay pals, it's 10.36 pm here in Rome (Italy) and I need your help.
I'm going to send another mail of mine to a not-VIP-at-all, here is what I wrote (I know it is full of errors, I'm too sleepy!)

Dear T***** D*****,
I know that what I'm going to ask you may sound stupid, silly, weird or not true...
But let me introduce myself first.
My name's Simone Ramacci and I'm from Italy.
I'm a 14-years-old Italian boy whose hobbies are computer programming, 168 (the school newspaper whose editor-in-chief is me), Indiana Jones...
Anyway: I'm writing you just to ask that silly questions of mine:
- Would you like to be interviewed?
- I'd love to translate some of yours comics in my own language, can I?
(Now the most stupid question)
- Can I have your autograph, maybe inside a custom strip? [I can give you a fax number or an Italian address]


I hope you'll write me back as soon as you can, and that your reply will be full of YES (it'll be OK with a lot of yep too...)
best regards from Rome,Italy
Simone Ramacci
What do you think?
I shall not send this e-mail till someone says "It's OK my dear Sim/Pal" and I shall leave Rome on 2nd July, so be fast my dear pals, be fast and kind, check that mail of mine...

Bye (and goodnight, buonanotte, gute Nacht,شب بخیر , buenas noches, iyi geceler, bonne nuit, καληνύχτα, ...)

Sim,
How does the following sound to you?

Dear T***D***,

My name is S*** R**** and I am a 14 year old boy who lives in Rome.

I am the Editor-in Chief of our high school newspaper and I would be forever grateful to you if you would allow me to interview you for our newspaper.

For several years, I have been a huge fan of your comics. With your permission, I would like to translate some of your comics into Italian. May I have your permission to do this?

It would be a great thrill for me if I could have your autograph. Would you be kind enough to send it to me, perhaps on a custom cartoon strip, at (Italian Address)?

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best wishes for continued success with your comic series!

Sincerely,

S*** R****
 
That's sounds really better.
I'll use this.
Thank you.

Thank you.
You're welcome, Sim! I'm always ready to assist!

Wouldn't it be great if T*** D*** were to visit Rome sometime next year? If you planned far enough ahead of time, you might be able to get your picture taken with him! What a great story that would be for your high school newspaper!

Cheers,
Amigo
