I love music. It has become an essential part of my life ever since I started playing the drums at the age of IO. I have a band and we have already given some concerts. It's rewarding when you listen to people singing the songs you’ve made. Music is in fact a universal language. Although I listen to all types of music, I mostly play rock. My favourite bands are Red Hot Chili Peppers and Muse. I can't imagine my life without music because it gives me the energy to face daily problems. Apart from music, I'm also keen on sports. I have already practised karate and tennis, but nowadays I'm into football. As for benefits, I feel active and fit. I also like watching football, which I believe is an emotional experience to be shared.

All my free time is spent on a part-time job. I think that having a part-time job helps you become aware of the importance of money and you will spend it more carefully. You don’t need to ask your parents for money all the time, so you feel more independent. You also get a lot of working experience. In my case, I work in a shop, so I meet many people and I can develop my communication skills. I hope in the future these skills will help me get a better job, preferably in my area, which is marketing and advertising. When I do have some extra time, I simply lie on the sofa and watch some TV. I must admit that my favourite programmes are films and soap operas.
