American artists living abroad Article by Jim Knowles

Maegan Campbell is a 32-year-old actress from Los Angeles, but right now, she’s living in Paris. She lives in an apartment that overlooks the Seine River. Maegan’s mother is French, which means Maegan can speak the language perfectly. Maegan is very talented. She likes acting in movies, but she can also sing and dance well, and she has a leading part in a French musical right now. She can also play the piano very well. In her spare time, Maegan likes to relax at home by watching romantic movies. She doesn’t have plans to return to the US.

Tom Hammond is from Dallas, but he lives in Tokyo. 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 Toshi. Tom writes the music and Toshi writes the lyrics. When they’re happy with a new song, they usually perform it to students at their college. They love to have an audience and would really like to be in a band. When he isn’t composing, Tom downloads his favorite music from the Internet.

Example: Tom lives in Tokyo. 1 __________ watches movies at home. 2 __________ works in the afternoon. 3 __________ sometimes works in the theater. 4 __________ doesn’t play the piano.

Hannah Brown is a writer. She’s from New York, but she lives in Mexico. Hannah is 25 and likes writing romantic novels. Her goal, of course, is to be a published writer, so she writes every day for at least four hours. Her favorite time to write is early in the morning, but she sometimes writes 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 it helps her learn Spanish.

5 __________ is a student.
