Tom. I like a lot of things. Most of all I enjoy sports but only team games. I am fond of singing and listening to music. I can’t play any musical instrument but I would like to learn. Our school often holds different performances and I like to take part in them. I like dancing too but only break dancing. I also love drawing and learning languages.
