My full name is ***** **** *******. My hobbies are swimming and I enjoy reading. I think my most interesting experience was when I almost drowned in Cascades. Obviously I couldn't swim. I go to swimming lessons every Wednesday. I have got over seventeen swimming badges. I support Manchester United Football Club and have all my life. My favourite football players are Mark Hughes, Ryan Giggs, Lee Sharpe and Paul Ince. I hate Take That and my idol isn't Mark Owen. My idol is the man off the new levi's advert! My favourite animals are monkeys and apes and things like that. I like soul, reggae and pop music. My favourite song is Wonderful World by Sam Cooke an old soul singer.
