Looking for Love is an agency that finds partners for single people of any age. Read about Lisa.

My name’s Lisa. I’m 25 years old, I’m single and I’m looking for love. I’m a journalist on a local newspaper,
I write stories about local matters and sometimes I interview politicians. I like my job, but I’d like to work on
a national newspaper one day. That’s because I want to have the opportunity to work abroad.
I have a small group of friends who I’ve known for years. I even went to school with some of them! We
usually go out to parties, nightclubs, and restaurants.
I’m not very sporty, but I like to keep fit. I stopped smoking last year and now I go running twice a week and
I sometimes go to the gym at weekends. I prefer men who are interested in serious things because I like
talking about politics and what’s happening in the world. However, I also like men with a good sense of
humour. These characteristics are more important to me than physical appearance.
Please contact Looking for Love if you think you’re the kind of person I’m looking for!

1. Looking for Love is an organization that helps young people make friends. T F
2. In her job Lisa interviews politicians abroad. T F
3. Lisa wrote this article for Looking for Love. T F
