British artists living abroad

Sally Campbell is a 32-year-old actress from London, but right now, she’s living in Paris in a flat that overlooks the Seine. Sally’s mother is French, which means Sally can speak the language perfectly. Sally is very talented. She likes acting in films, but she can also sing and dance brilliantly and she currently has a leading part in a French musical. She can also play the piano very well. In her spare time, Sally likes to relax at home by watching romantic films. She has no plans to return to Britain.

Tom Hammond is from Glasgow, but he lives in New York. He’s 18 and he’s a music student. Tom can play the piano and the guitar very well. He also writes songs with his friend John. Tom writes the music and John writes the lyrics. When they’re happy with a new song, they usually perform it to students at the college. They love to have an audience and would really like to be in a band. When he isn’t composing, Tom downloads his favourite music from the Internet.

Hannah Brown is a writer. She’s from Manchester, but she lives in Italy. Hannah is 25 and likes writing romantic novels. Her ambition, of course, is to be a published writer, so she writes every day for at least four hours. Her favourite time to write is early in the morning, but she sometimes works late at night too. In the afternoons, Hannah works as a waitress in a cafe. She doesn’t really enjoy this part of her life, but she needs the money to stay in Italy.
