answer booklet. (5x5=5 Marks)
13) Nick Vujicic

26-year-old_who is mainly a torso _plays football and golf, swims and surfs,
despite having no limbs.
14) Nick
has a small foot on his left hip which help him balance and enables him to
kick. He uses his one foot to type,
write with a pen and pick things up between his toes.
‘I call it my chicken drumstick’,
joked Nick, who was born in Melbourne, Australia, but now lives in Los
Angeles. I’d be lost without it.
15) Due to his faith as a Evangelical

proposals from women all the time,’ said Nick’s friend and publicist Steve
Appel, from Los Angeles.

start a family but he’s waiting for the right girl to come along.’
