My life: Ben Samuel, 9, south London

1 min read
I'm a twin. It's quite annoying 'cos people get me muddled up. We trick people as well. We wear the same clothes and I say I'm Richard and he says he's Ben. We play together.

My favourite thing is playing football with Richard. He's good in goaland I'm good at shooting. I like having a swim as well. I wind him upsometimes. I can't think of something, but I do wind him up and he getsangry. Once we swapped jackets and the other person said I was Richardand that's it.

At school, my favourite subject is literacy. I like it because it'seasy.

Both literacy and numeracy are easy actually, I like them both.

I haven't got a favourite colour. I've got three favourite colours -black, red and blue.

At weekends I normally go to after-school clubs with my dad or stay athome. I play the computer or play with toys, that's it.
