Hello! My name is Tom and I’m from Cape Town, in South Africa.
I’m 15 years old. I’m quite tall, 5 feet 9 inches and I’m strongly-built but I’m not chubby.
I’ve short frizzy black hair with a gorgeous smile!
I have a brother and a sister: Greg who is 3 years older than me and Sarah who is 5 years younger.
This year, he is studying to become an engineer while my sister is still in Primary school.
My dad is a real estate agent. He sells houses, flats, offices and farms around there.
My mom teaches Art at UCT. That stands for University of Cape Town.
As for my hobbies, I’m keen on lots of different activities: I like motorbiking, playing rugby.
I have ridden a motocross since I was 8 years old. I’m also taking part in races. And to be honest, I’m quite good at it, even if I haven’t won any medal yet!
With my brother, we have practised rugby for 6 years in the local club with most of our friends.
I’m also quite a musician: I have already played the piano, the drums and even the djembe.
I travel a lot with my family but I’ve never visited France. I hope I’ll be able to do it soon.
What about you? Have you ever been to South Africa? Would you like to come and visit us?

Do you want South African pronunciation?

I can only do American English and Spanish correctly. Were I to try South African, someone from there would probably say "What part of England are you from?" :-)

I'll can give you American accent tomorrow if no one else does. Right now my wife is running both the air conditioner and the TV, so my recording would be terrible. :-)

I see Tom beat me to it, and he sounds pretty good too me.
