After reading the presentation, say what Stephen likes and what he hates. Drag and drop the words in the correct blank, following the order of the text.

Hi, this is Stephen's page where I post my thoughts and comments. First, here is a brief portrait of me. I am Irish but I am living in France. I am seventeen and in my fourth year at secondary school in a French lycée of sciences. I love this country but I am also very happy when I can go back to Ireland and visit my grandparents. I speak very good French, of course. I don't like sports. I am not the sporty muscled guy all my friends would like to be, I am more sort of dreamy and artistic. I enjoy reading books and I spend lots of time reading novels. I also write short stories myself and I enjoy doing it while listening to good music. Despite this, I am not a solitary guy. I love socializing and I often go out with friends. But I never join them when they go to discos because I hate dancing and loud disco music.

Stephen likes:________, ________, ________, ________, ________

Stephen hates:________, ________, ________
