My favorite kind of sports is table tennis. It is a sport in which two or four players hit a lightweight, hollow ball back and forth with rackets. The game takes place on a hard table divided by a net. Except for the initial serve, players must allow a ball played toward them only one bounce on their side of the table and must return it so that it bounces on the opposite side. This game can be played inside or outside. Points are scored when a player fails to return the ball within the rules. Play is fast and demands quick reactions. A skilled player can impart several varieties of spin to the ball, altering its trajectory and limiting an opponent's options to great advantage.

My mum was born in Plymouth in 1948. When she left school, she started work in an office in Plymouth. Later, the company sent her to a different office in Bristol, where she met my dad. They fell in love, and they got married in 1970. They had three children - I'm the youngest.

They moved back to Plymouth again when my dad retired. They bought a very nice house and they've lived there for two years now. My dad has just put a greenhouse in the garden for growing vegetables - he's been a keen gardener all his life. My parents have made a lot of new friends and they're very happy in their new home.
