Max: Hi and welcome to To The Max. I’m Max Gregg and I’m thirteen. My family and I are from Boston in the United States, but at the moment our hometown is Rye in England.

I’m a dance fanatic. I’ve got my own dance studio in our garage at home. I’ve also got a video blog about dance. It’s got some great tips about how to do different kinds of modern dance. My video blog hasn’t got any fans at the moment. It’s a shame!

I’ve got a big sister, Lily. She’s nineteen and she’s at university. Has she got any hobbies? Well, her hobby is learning languages. She can speak four languages: English, German, Polish and Russian. She’s really smart!

Rye has got a castle and lots of old houses, but it hasn’t got much for teenagers. Our house is twenty minutes from the sea, but I can’t swim!

I haven’t got a big family. Just me, Lily and Dad. We haven’t got any pets. Dad’s got a job at a university near here. He’s OK, but he’s got a really uncool car and he can’t drive very well, especially in London. Oh, and he can’t cook.

In the UK there is a memory competition for children. It is the National Junior Memory Championship. The children’s schools are a bit different. They have reading lessons and writing lessons, but there are also memory lessons!

This year the competition is at London Zoo. The children have different tests. They have got a list of numbers. They have got a list of words. They have got a list of names and they have got information about London Zoo. And they have only got five minutes.

Joachim can remember forty-seven words – that is fantastic! Iris can remember forty names – that is fantastic too. But the winner is Lily-Rose. She can remember thirty numbers, thirty-five names and ninety percent of the information. Wow!
