JULIAN SMITH'S TEENAGE LIFE
Hi there! I’m Julian Smith. I’m fourteen years old and I’m a student at Nottingham school.
I am a good student and have good grades, so my parents allow me to have a band as a hobby. I’m the
lead singer and I also play the electric guitar. I’m a very sociable and friendly boy. I have many friends all over the world. I meet them the world. I meet them online through my personal page on facebook.
We live on the outskirts of Nottingham. Our house is quite nice. It has four bedrooms, a toilet, a bathroom, a living room, a dining room, a studio, a kitchen, a hall and a garage. There’s where I play with my mates to practice our own songs and covers, before performing all weekends at local pubs or other venues
.
We are amateurs but we love playing music.
My mother is a medical doctor at the local hospital – neurologist. And my father is a Judge – also at the local Court of Law. My mother woks on shifts and her job is very demanding and tiring. But she feels quite happy when she saves people’s lives. She’s is very nice to all her patients. As a mother she is very strict and she is always checking if I am doing well at school!!! My father also worries about how I manage my studies with the band. He doesn’t tolerate any bad grades unless I lose the right to be part of my band. I have got two twin sisters, younger than me. They drive me crazy because I think they are so childish….. Well, after all they are only six years old. They are also good students.
