A. Read the blog post and answer the questions. ABOUT ME
Hello! My name's Fred Peters I'm 12 years old and I'm from London in the UK. Welcome to my blog.
My free-time activities
I'm really interested in making puppets! It's my new hobby! I usually make them out of paper or wood. At the moment, I'm making a wooden puppet of a goat! Next week, I'm planning to make a sheep or a wolf! You can check out all my puppets here. I'm also into rock climbing. It's a very exciting and adventurous activity, but at the same time, you must be careful because it can be dangerous. My dad and brother are crazy about rock climbing too. so we go rock climbing together once a month. In fact, we're going this weekend! I can't wait!
