My name is Ben and I come from Australia. I am 24 years old and I live in a small town near
Sydney called Branton. I don't have a job now, but normally I clean shop windows. I am not
married but I live with my very beautiful girlfriend, Maria, in a nice house in Branton. We
don't have any children... Maybe next year. My girlfriend is an actress, but she isn't very
famous. She acts in a small theatre in our town. At the weekend, we like to go swimming in
a big lake near our house. I normally get up at eight o'clock, but on Thursday I get up at six
o'clock because that is the day when I go running in the park.
