new people and i love making friends with people who are social i am an outgoing person and i love to have fun one of the hobbies i've come to love is being able to go to a movie theater to watch new films i like going with friends and enjoying a movie that we get to laugh cry and be in awe of i love going to amusement parks because they are a very relaxing way to get away from the stress they are a great place to hang out with my buddies and have a blast i also
enjoy relaxing outdoors in nature if the weather is nice i enjoy sitting under a tree with a book or playing tennis i have a pet dog named lucky and spending time with him is one of my favorite things to do my favorite season is winter snow is so much fun i go skiing and i play snowball fights and i build snowmen my favorite food is lasagna it's delicious and very filling i like every variety of lasagna my mother loves to prepare it for me because she knows i am a big fan of this italian dish
[Music] among the things that i don't like are the alarm clock that wakes me up every time and taking exams my biggest flaw is that i'm very sensitive and sometimes i overreact to minimal things [Music] my name is ellie and i am 17 years old but i will turn 18 next week i'm a student in brighton uk i love my high school because i have great teachers and my classmates are really nice we often go on school outings to the mountains or to the seaside which i enjoy a lot i like economics but i don't
like physics very much i'm hoping to go to university and study business i'd like to pursue a career in accounting or finance i'm a good student and i love to study a lot i am responsible and hard-working so i study hard to obtain good grades there are six people in my family i have two brothers and a sister there is no such thing as a perfect family but when we are together we have a lot of perfect moments brighton is on the seaside surrounded by nature so i love to go swimming at the beach [Applause]
stroll along the shore or take a cycle ride through the parks gardening is my passion it inspires me to do something new whenever i cast a glance over my small beautiful lawn my heart blossoms with every new flower there is new happiness i hate it when somebody shouts at me i just can't bear it scold me or whatever but don't shout i also don't like when people borrow money but they never give it back to you my greatest weakness is that i am a shy and nervous person by nature the result is that i have
a difficult time speaking up in groups even if i have good ideas i have trouble asserting them i often keep them to myself [Music] my name is matthew but everyone calls me matt i'm 21 years old i'm canadian and i was born in vancouver now i live in toronto ontario i'm a student at trent university i'm going to graduate next year i'm studying electronics and marketing i work part-time in a small electronics shop as a sales assistant i'm very good at talking to customers i'm also very skilled with computers i'm an outgoing person with a
good sense of humor and i make friends easily my friends say that i'm funny and fun to be with i sometimes go out of my way to be nice to people and help them out i'm always looking for ways to develop my skills and learn new things not just in school but outside the school environment too my favorite hobbies are fishing horseback riding and playing chess i was introduced to fishing by my father when i was only five years old and i've been hooked on it ever since i love chess because it's a good exercise
for the brain it keeps the mind sharp and attentive i started horseback riding at eight and i ride once a week it makes me feel free and calm i also like traveling because i love discovering new cities and places around the world i often save up for months to plan a trip every year i love friends trips and family outings but solo traveling brings me the real adventure and thrill to venture into new places all by myself i don't like people disrespecting or taking for granted other people's presence or efforts you're not really entitled to
it it's out of love and concern that they do so but you don't seem to care it's rude my greatest weakness is that i talk too much and listen too little i like to express my opinions i'm very aware of my flaws and i try to become a better person each day so i write down a reminder on my notebook listen more speak less hi i'm emma i grew up in melbourne and lived there most of my life before moving to sydney three years ago i work as a journalist specializing in social issues i love
writing about housing and homelessness children's and adult social care and about mental health my favorite pastime is learning new things by reading or watching informational videos i like participating in volunteer activities especially teaching underprivileged kids i like spending my weekends helping these ngos for different activities from teaching to organizing interesting games and activities to make learning fun for kids recently i have been interested in exploring different languages as they help me explore new cultures around the world i started learning spanish online and i've already cleared the beginner level i like spending time in nature and
capture all the wonderful moments of beauty with my camera i've been doing nature photography since i was in school and i'm truly proud of this hobby i love cooking i like searching for different recipes on youtube and trying them out on my friends and family [Music] i don't like rude people i think it's important that people say please and thank you and don't push or shove i think my greatest weakness is that i have trouble saying no to my co-workers even when i have a lot on my plate i really don't like to disappoint people
so sometimes i end up taking on more work than i should [Music] hi my name's gary and i live in auckland new zealand i'm 35 years old and i'm a lecturer in psychology at auckland international college i'm married and i have two children i'm an avid reader i read probably a hundred pages a day i can read a good book in three hours if it's a really good book but reading just helps me to unwind i prefer a good book over the tv any day i also really enjoy being in the outdoors i enjoy sunshine
and hiking with my family i love public transportation i love walking to the bus getting on reading a book and after i finish a chapter or two i'm at work i love how relaxing that is i usually exercise pretty often i go jogging and swimming once a week i also exercise in the apartment i love to eat i like food i would eat just about anything that came across my path even worse my wife is a wonderful cook and that means i have a lot of good food to eat and if i didn't exercise i
would have to stop eating as much as for my personality i think i'm pretty responsible trustworthy reliable and punctual i'm organized and always stick to my schedule i don't like waiting sometimes i'm not very patient and i like to hurry things along i would never wait in line for a seat in a restaurant or to go into a shop people queueing to buy the latest phone i think that's a complete waste of time life is too short to wait in a queue for anything unless you really have to [Music] thanks for watching and be sure
