In general, I probably prefer to eat at home although I do like going out to restaurants occasionally for something special.

I don't really like spending too much money - then when I get home, I feel guilty about going shopping! So, I like to find bargains and get my money's worth. Oh, and I hate it when I buy something, and it practically falls apart after the f

I tried to learn the piano, but I just wasn't very good at all, unfortunately. Practising was a real bore, and I just couldn't seem to get the notes right.

I tend to go shopping at the local shopping mall, but it depends on whether I'm shopping for clothes or whether I'm shopping for food. If it's fresh food, I usually go to the markets because they have the freshest produce and it's cheap.

I definitely prefer to go away for holidays to someplace different. I love going abroad to see differ- ent cultures and countries. Last year, I went to Thailand, and next year, I'm hoping to get to Australia for a visit.

Yes, I do. I usually have bananas with my cereal at breakfast time, an apple for lunch, and sometimes I have melon or some other type of fruit after the main meal. I eat lots of vegetables each day as well because they're good for me.

In my immediate family, I'm really close to my brother because we are so similar in age that we have lots of friends in common, so we socialise together as well. We're interested in similar sorts of things, like sports!

I love action and thriller-type movies because they are so exciting and full of drama. I get really bored with slow movies; I need a lot of action to keep me interested in a movie. If it's too boring, I just fall asleep.

My favourite meal is definitely dinner because my dad's such a good cook and makes such delicious meals. It's also the time when everyone gets together and catches up on the news.

If I'm shopping for clothes and so on, I like to go with my friends because it's always good to get an opinion on what looks good, and my friends are always honest.

I guess I'm a bit unusual in that I really enjoy stormy, wild weather, but only if I'm indoors. I like the dramatic effect of a storm with all the thunder and lightning.

My extended family probably only gets together about once or twice a year for big events like weddings, or important birthdays, or Christmas.

I take my holidays once every year, for two weeks at a time. I'd like to have more holidays, but with my job, it's not really possible because I can't take too much annual leave.
