To
1________________, I have a tattoo of a 2_________________ on my back, which
I had 3____________ at the age of eighteen. Second 4______________is my
birthday since I was born on Christmas Day and I wouldn’t get two 5_______________ presents and it would be forgotten because everyone is 6_______________
with the Christmas celebrations. Third, even though it is not a big secret I
sing in a local 7_____________ with which I rehearse once a week and do concerts
from time to time. Number four, my favourite film is The 8_____________, which
I’ve seen about twenty times. Number five, I have always loved dancing, which I
would have probably 9_____________ hadn’t it been for some 10_____________ which
I had for a couple of years and had to quit. My next one, which only a few
close friends know about, is that I like gardening. This is why I have an 11______________
where I grow tomatoes and 12_________. I like to 13________________
there on Sundays, which is like 14_____________ for me. And last but not least,
since I don’t have a driving licence yet, I’m planning on 15______________ obtaining it some time. I’ve said that before though.
