VIII. READING

George Weekes writes poems and books for all age groups, and sometimes reads his work on television.

My parents moved to Manchester from Jamaica just before I was born, but east London has been my home for
many years now. Tourists never come here. This part of the city has problems, but there are also many good things
about it.

People of many nationalities live in this area, so there are shops with Jamaican bread, African vegetables,
Chinese spices and lots of other interesting things. The shop my wife likes best is one that sells beautiful Indian
dresses. The local bookshop is much more friendly than a big store and I’m always happy to talk to customers about
my books.

I’m 36 years old now but I don’t really like 36-year-old! Once people become 30 they think about money too
much and say that modern music is too noisy! Almost all my friends here are under 17. I love their language and
their music. They give me ideas for my writing.

Sometimes I go for a run along the river. There are flowers and animals and even some cows there, so it like
being in the country. I live and work in a city but inside I am still a country person.
