READING

My name is Ben

My name is Ben and I come from Australia. I am 24 years old and I live in a
small town near Sydney called Branton.

I don't have a job now, but normally I clean shop windows. I am not married
but I live with my very beautiful girlfriend, Maria, in a nice house in Branton.
We don't have any children...maybe next year.

My girlfriend is an actress, but she isn't very famous. She acts in a small
theatre in our town. At the weekend, we like to go swimming in a big lake
near our house.

I normally get up at eight o'clock, but on Thursday I get up at six o'clock

because that is the day when I go running in the park.
