NAME AGE FROM HOBBIES
Hi, how are you?.
My name is Craig and I´m ten years old.
I am English because I was born in England, but I am also British because England is part of Great Britain and is in the UK.
I live in a typical English family. I have a father, mother and a sister and we all live together in our house in a town in the south east
corner of England. At the back of our house we have our garden where I play with my sister.
My family has a car, a computer, a colour telly with dvd, a washing machine, dishwasher and a cat. Mum and dad both have
mobile phones and I am hoping to get one soon.
The day starts at about 7 o'clock when Dad and mum get up. My sister and I usually watch telly in our pyjamas (night clothes) until
breakfast. We have breakfast at 8 o' clock.
I like to eat Rice Krispies (cereal) and jam on toast. I also drink a glass of milk. My mum usually only has toast, a glass of orange
juice and a cup of coffee. Dad likes to have a fried breakfast consisting of baked beans, bacon, tomatoes,mushrooms, two eggs and
a sausage
After breakfast, my sister and I, put on our school uniform. I wear grey trousers, a white shirt and a blue sweat shirt.
My favourite subjects at school are science and history. My favourite topic in history is learning about the ancient Egyptians. I also
enjoy PE lessons - we play football, netball, cricket and sometimes we go cross-country running.
What about you?
Write soon.

Known for Eating unusual objects
A Cessna 150, one of the more famous items Lotito ate over his lifetime.
Michel Lotito (June 15, 1950 – June 25, 2007[citation needed]) was a French entertainer, born in Grenoble, famous for deliberately consuming
indigestible objects. He came to be known as Monsieur Mangetout ("Mr Eat-All").[1]
His performances involved the consumption of metal, glass, rubber and other materials. He disassembled, cut up, and
consumed bicycles, shopping carts, televisions, and a Cessna 150,[2] among other items. The Cessna 150 took roughly two years to be "eaten",
from 1978 to 1980. He began eating unusual material as a teenager, at around 16 years of age, [3] and performed publicly beginning in 1966.[citation
needed]
Lotito had an eating disorder known as pica. Doctors determined that Lotito also had a thick lining in his stomach and intestines which
allowed his consumption of sharp metal without suffering injury.[4]
Lotito claimed not to suffer ill effects from his consumption of substances typically considered poisonous. When performing, he ingested
approximately 1 kilogram (2.2 lb) of material daily, preceding it with mineral oil and drinking considerable quantities of water during the meal.
[5]
He said, however, that bananas and hard-boiled eggs made him sick. It is estimated that between 1959 and 1997, Lotito "had eaten nearly
nine tons of metal."[6]
Lotito's method for eating all of this metal was to break it into small pieces before attempting to eat it. He then drank mineral oil and continued
to drink water while swallowing the metal bits. This acted as a lubricant to help the metal slide down his throat. He also had no problem
"passing" his unusual diet.[7][8]
He was awarded a brass plaque by the Guinness Book to commemorate his abilities. He consumed it as well. [3]
Lotito died on June 25, 2007, ten days after his 57th birthday, due to natural causes. [9] He is buried at Saint Roch Cemetery in Grenoble.
