B. Running Dictation (Similar to the Audio about the Motorbike)

My hobby started when I was a kid. My sister had a lot of makeup and I thought it looked like fun. Then I really got into makeup and beauty. My best friend also had lots of good makeup from Dior, Coco Chanel and Sephora, so we went shopping together often and it was great! Really, I wanted to become better and learn how to use more products, and the great thing about it is, it doesn't take very long to learn. So I saved up some money and started buying lipstick and brushes and eyeliners. It was a fascinating experience and I learned from watching YouTube videos. Now, I am quite good and whenever there is a wedding or important event, my friends ask me to do their makeup.

My Favorite Types of Food

Although I do not have much time for breakfast in the morning, I always enjoy a warm cup of coffee with my family. Coffee is really good for you, for it gives plenty of energy and is low in calories. Apart from coffee, of course, my diet consists of fresh fruit and vegetables. Moreover, my family most often buys 5 kilos of apples, oranges and bananas every week.

My most favorite time of the day is definitely breakfast time. If you asked me, where to go for breakfast, I would tell you Shobak. Actually, Shobak is the best place for having breakfast; it serves the most delicious pancakes and waffles ever! Whenever my family and I want to enjoy an amazing breakfast together, we go to Shobak. Whatever you desire, you can always find anything you want on the menu. Pancakes, waffles, and fresh orange juice are what my family and I order most often.

As for the other meals during the day, I sometimes eat sandwiches or salads. Alternatively, I snack on nuts or crackers and then eat some soup in the evening. Also, I truly enjoy eating chicken with rosemary, lemon juice and rice! It is such a sumptuous dish! Since I am very healthy, I almost never eat junk food. Finally, nothing tastes as good as being in shape feels!
