My name’s Freddie English and I’m your new e-pal. Here are a few things about me. I play lots of sports and I’m quite fit and healthy. But I’m a bit chubby. I’m trying to lose weight at the moment. I’m not eating burgers and chips, or pizza. Well, I think pizza’s horrible anyway. What about you? What do you like eating? I’m quite funny and I make my friends laugh but I don’t like adventure at all. I’m really scared of roller coasters and even horse riding scares me. What about you? My town is a bit boring but I like it. There’s a great Internet café near my house. Do you like computers? I’ve got lots of computer games and I surf the Net all the time. Have you got a laptop? I want to get one but they’re a bit expensive. I might get a job at the local pizza restaurant soon to make some extra money. Do you like music? I’m going to be famous one day. You see, I’m the lead singer in a band and we’re very good. Well, I think so, anyway. Write back soon, OK? Freddie
