TEXT:

Amy Smith, 24, studied English and Media Studies at Nottingham University and
then worked for a year as an English teacher in Poland. She joined Network Television as a
researcher. Now she works as a presenter on Here and Now, a Children’s programme. She
lives with her parents and brother, Joe, who is a student aged 17, in West London. She
talks about her free time.
“I work as a TV presenter. My work is interesting. I enjoy it very much, but when
I go home, I prefer listening to the radio. But I enjoy watching late-night TV, especially
celebrity interviews. As for music, well, I’m a bit old-fashioned about it. I like ballads and
slow romantic songs. My brother is in a band called Noise. They’re very noisy, but Joe is a
very a very good drummer. I enjoy watching him. He’s got a really nice voice but he isn’t
the singer. What a pity!
I love going to the cinema. I like European films. Joe never comes with me. He
watches lots of videos – action films usually. He likes old Schwarzenegger films and he’s a
big fan of Jean-Claude Van Damme. I don’t like such action films very much. In fact, I
hate watching most of them! And finally reading, I don’t mind reading newspapers. I read
a lot of magazines, especially about films. Empire is my favourite. I read it every month.”
