Hello there! My name is Ben. Im thirteen years old and Im

from Bristol in England.
Im a student at a public school: Clifton High School. It is an
amazing school and I love going there.
I live in a flat with my parents and two brothers, Jim and Harry.
My parents names are Adele and Alan. My mum is a dentist and she works at King
Richards Clinic. She is thirty-five years. My dad, Alan, is thirty-nine and works with
computers. Hes an engineer. My brothers are fifteen and nineteen respectively and are
students. My older brother, Harry, is at college and only comes home at weekends.
My mother hasnt got any brothers or sisters, but my father has got
two sisters, Susan and Joan. They arent married, so I still dont have any
cousins. My mums parents are Bruce and Emma Thompson. They live in a
big farm in the countryside, where I go in the summer. I just love visiting
them, because its very calm and beautiful. I always take Rufus, my dog,
with me and we have lots of fun! I dont see my dads parents very often,
because they live in another city, far away from us.
When my family gets together, we love playing baseball, going to
concerts, watching TV shows and travelling. We visit a lot of places when we are in
holidays and its always fun.
My family is the best and I am a very happy young boy!
