On the Line - daily life flag of the United Kingdom
doing homework

"After supper I do homework and I try to finish it on the night I get it so that I don’t have to do homework at weekends. Then I watch TV, invite my friends over, or go swimming. I swim for the City of Oxford Swimming Club, and go four times a week and enter lots of competitions. I like entering competitions because they are fun and I learn from my mistakes. I want to swim the English Channel when I am older, but I don’t know if I will or not.
playing the piano

"I like animals. I used to have a hamster called Marley, but it was very old and had to be put down by the vet. I had a cat called Penguin but it had heart failure and had to be put down last week. I would like to have a brown-coloured labrador dog, but I’d have to look after it all the time. I also want to have some tropical fish but they are very expensive.

"I also play the piano and I have lessons at home. My sister plays the piano as well - she’s really good. I go to bed at about 10pm, or maybe 9.30pm if I am tired."
