4. PERSONAL INTEREST
As I have already mentioned above i love to travel, it is
probably my biggest passion in life, this year I plan to visit
and experience other countries around South East Asia and
then hopefully move to Australia or New Zealand for a year
or two in 2017
Cooking is another one of my passions, I just love to cook,
and experiment with food, inventing new recipes, I find that
cooking is a fantastic way to express yourself, and it's great
to be creative. It's also very useful that I love to travel, so that
I am able to experience different food cultures from around
the world and discover different foods and ways of eating.
I am also very interested in watching Films and TV series’, it
is a very easy way to spend your time, and also another way
to see different places around the world, and documentaries
are very educational, I have created many lessons plans
using clips from TV or film, it can make the lesson more
enjoyable. I also have quite a lot of ideas for some scripts
and i hope to start preparing them later this year
I enjoy sport, I especially enjoy playing tennis and cycling, I
also follow tennis and football as well as swim, I believe it is
very important to try and be active.
