TRANSCRIPTION
I like to play basketball, and some…and I sometimes like to play badminton. But, I go to Oxford school and I went there since primary. It is a very nice school and I probably wouldn’t go anywhere else because I have all my friends that go there. Um, I traveled to Ontario and to Florida and I went to Quebec and New Brunswick and a lot of different places. Best party was probably a recently one. I went to my friends house and we had three systems: a, um, a Sony Playstation, a Sega Dreamcast and a Nintendo64 all set up. And we had about five different games for each system. There were about 18 people.
