Loris From Italy


Hello. My name is Loris. I come from Italy. I am 29 years old and I am happily married. In Italy I worked as a mechanic. In Australia I work as a builder. I build many houses and units. I make a lot of money.
When I came to Australia, I couldn't speak any English. I went to AMES in Box Hill and did a course there. I was a very good student and I always did my homework. Now I speak very good English. I also have many Aussie friends.
I live in South Yara now. I live in a big house. I also have a modern car.
Every year I make one million dollars because I work very hard. I have many people working for me too.
My wife helps me in my business. She is an accountant. She was born in Australia but she speaks Italian too. We met in Rome. Rome is a big city in Italy and we fell in love.
Next year I want to travel around the world. I want to visit China, Japan, Italy and America. I will go to New York and take some pictures there. I will see my old friends in Rome too. I will have a lot of fun.
