I live in an area of London called Maida Vale. It is quite near the center but there are parks nearby where I
often take my dog, Mickey, for a walk. I live with my parents and my younger brother, Paul. My father works for
the post office and my mother has a part- time job as a nurse.
I go to the local comprehensive school, Where I have a lot of friends. I like most subjects but not all of

swimming or horse-riding.
