Bonne nuit Mesdames et Monsieur, comment allez-vous? Je m'appelle Lauren, ou Reine d'Araignées si vous préférez- j'ai dix-huit ans et j'habite à Leeds en Angleterre. J'adore lire beaucoup de livres, et j'adore les orages aussi. Je voudrais aller en Australie, mais je n'aime pas beaucoup les avions. Je n'ai avoir jamais les animaux favoris parce que ma mère est allergique.

Good night Ladies and Gentleman, how are you? I am called Lauren, or Queen of Spiders if you prefer- I am 18 years old and live in Leeds in England. I love to read lots of books, and I also love thunderstorms. I would like to go to Australia, but I don't like aeroplanes very much. I have never had pets because my mum is allergic.

A few points Wandeful: "I am" is "Je suis", "sont" is "are" not "is", "but I also like to play with my dog Banjo" would probably be "mais j'aime jouer avec mon chien Banjo aussi".
And everyone notice how I spelt "appelle"? That's the right way! :razz:

Sorry, I got an A for GCSE French- I'm a tad pernickity. :oops:

I thought it was 'appelle'! But I saw that Godric used 'appele' and she just took French last year whereas I haven't taken it for a few years, so I thought she was right. :lol: Maybe she just had a typo or something.
