Exercise 5: Read the passage and answer the questions
Hi Maria
Do you remember me? My name’s Ben Sanders, I’m twenty-nine, and I’m British. I live in a small flat in north London and I work as a secretary for a big computer company in central London. I travel to work on the underground, but I often work at home. I don’t smoke, but I drink a lot of coffee! What else can I tell you about myself? My family live in Brighton, on the south coast of England. I have one brother and one sister. My brother works as a waiter and my sister’s a nurse. Their names are Harry and Liz. My parents are both teachers. I love sport. I play football and basketball a few times a month and I watch all the best matches on TV. My favourite food is
Mexican. I’m very lucky because my brother works in a Mexican restaurant, so I eat there when I visit my family. I study Italian in my free time because one day I want to live in Italy. Please write and tell me about yourself.
Ben
