British artists living abroad
Article by James Noble
Sally Campbell is a 32-year-old actress from London,
but right now, she’s living in Paris in a flat that overlooks
the Seine. Sally’s mother is French, which means Sally
can speak the language perfectly. Sally is very talented.
She likes acting in films, but she can also sing and dance
brilliantly and she currently has a leading part in a
French musical. She can also play the piano very well. In
her spare time, Sally likes to relax at home by watching
romantic films. She has no plans to return to Britain.
Tom Hammond is from Glasgow, but he lives in New
York. He’s 18 and he’s a music student. Tom can play
the piano and the guitar very well. He also writes songs
with his friend John. Tom writes the music and John
writes the lyrics. When they’re happy with a new song,
they usually perform it to students at the college. They
love to have an audience and would really like to be in a
band. When he isn’t composing, Tom downloads his
favourite music from the Internet.
Hannah Brown is a writer. She’s from Manchester, but
she lives in Italy. Hannah is 25 and likes writing
romantic novels. Her ambition, of course, is to be a
published writer, so she writes every day for at least
