AMERICAN ARTISTS LIVING ABROAD
Article by Jim Knowles
Maegan Campbell is a 32-year-old actress from Los Angeles, but right now, she's living in Paris. She lives in an apartment
that overlooks the Seine River. Maegan's mother is French, which means Maegan can speak the language perfectly.
Maegan is very talented. She likes acting in movies, but she can also sing and dance well, and she has a leading part in a
French musical right now. She can also play the piano very well. In her spare time, Maegan likes to relax at home by
watching romantic movies. She doesn't have plans to return to the US.
Tom Hammond is from Dallas, but he lives in Tokyo. He's 18, and he's a music student. Tom can play the piano and the
guitar very well. He also writes songs with his friend Toshi. Tom writes the music and Toshi writes the lyrics. When they're
happy with a new song, they usually perform it to students at their college. They love to have an audience and would really
like to be in a band. When he isn't composing, Tom downloads his favorite music from the Internet.
Hannah Brown is a writer. She's from New York, but she lives in Mexico. Hannah is 25 and likes writing romantic novels.
Her goal, of course, is to be a published writer, so she writes every day for at least four hours. Her favorite time to write is
