Hi Sarah,

Thanks for the email. It’s good to make new friends.

What do you do in your free-time? Do you like going out? I really like going to concerts. I love music and I listen to new bands a lot. My favourite children is Oliver Sykes from the band Bring Me The Horizon. He’s amazing. Who is your favourite singer? What kind of music do you like? What do you think of metal? I love it. What about you? I don’t like pop music very much. I can’t stand singers like Justin Bieber and Myley Cyrus. I think they’re terrible… well, I hope they aren’t your favourites!

Sometimes my friends and I go to a disco. Discos are OK but I prefer concerts.

Write soon and tell me about your likes and dislikes.

Julia.

Dave: Do you like sports?

Amelia: Well, I like some.

Dave: What kind of sports do you like?

Amelia: I like sports that I can do alone. I like walking and running. I like swimming a lot too. I don’t like football very much and I hate Formula 1 – it’s awful.

Dave: Who’s your favourite sports person?

Amelia: I don’t know. I guess I like Andy Murray. He’s awesome.

Dave: What do you think about Cristiano Ronaldo?

Amelia: I can’t stand him. He’s terrible. I don’t like footballers with all their tattoos.

Dave: He doesn’t have any tattoos.

Amelia: Well, that’s good but I prefer people who love their sport but don’t do it for the money. People like Alex Honnold. He’s a climber. He’s brilliant and a nice person too, I think.
