Who is Paco?
Paco is a twenty-one-year-old student. Although he is young, he is already a millionaire, thanks to the lottery. However, there are many other aspects about him that you don’t know yet.
Paco is in his Fourth Year of a degree in World History at the University of Granada. He is a brilliant student and he really likes studying the subjects related to his degree, but he finds learning English difficult. But is he dedicating enough time to it? Luckily, yes, he is and his English is gradually improving.
Paco is 1,80 metres tall. He is the tallest in his family. He is brown-haired and quite skinny. He likes sports, basketball and tennis above all. He also likes cinema and pop music. He always wears jeans and t-shirts and he is very fond of leisure wear.

Paco’s family is quite big: his mother, Isabel, his father, Antonio, a sister and a brother. Antonio is unemployed at the moment. He's 57 years old. Isabel is a teacher and is 2 years younger than her husband. Francisco’s family live in El Albayzín. They all live happily in a very comfortable terraced house not too far from the centre of the city. Paco also has grandparents and a lot of cousins living in different cities and towns in Spain.
Paco's sister, Sonia, also lives with her parents and she is the youngest in the family- she's only 16.She is in her First Year of Upper Secondary (Bachillerato) in a secondary school in town. She studies hard at school. Her favourite subject is English. She is always dreaming about travelling to the USA.
Does Paco’s whole family live in the same city? No, they don’t. His brother Carlos doesn’t live in Granada. In fact, he lives in Madrid and he works as an engineer. He is six years older than Paco. He sometimes visits his parents and sister at weekends. He can’t visit them too often because he has other important matters on his mind: his girlfriend Susan, an American girl from Springfield, who is studying a Master of Arts in Madrid.
