I usually meet my friends down at the multiplex on Saturday and we decide what to watch. There’s always something new out that we want to see. Luckily, we have the same taste and don’t spend too long deciding. I enjoy talking about it afterwards – the special effects, the acting and so on. It’s my favourite pastime.

I’m crazy about all the new gadgets that come out. I spend most of my free time shopping or surfing the Internet to check out the prices. The trouble is, nothing stays new for very long and you have to upgrade all the time. My mum says I spend too much on thigs I don’t need. I can’t help it – it’s my passion. It’s so exciting to keep up with the latest trends!

I have always been a very active person, always trying new sports and spending my time keeping fit. I enjoy sport, not only because it is healthy, but also because it is a good way to meet people. I’m really into mountain biking at the moment and so I spend most weekends on trips. We sleep out in tents – it’s cool!

I spend a lot of my time shopping. I like to shop on my own or with my friends and most of my money is spend on clothes. But, I am very careful with what I buy. I always spend time window shopping first and make sure I am getting a good price. It’s brilliant when you find a really nice top and everyone thinks you paid a fortune for it when in fact it cost you next to nothing.
