Writing a Paragraph About Yourself

What are we learning today?

You will write a paragraph about yourself with long sentences.

Explanation

• Start with a topic sentence. Finish with a last thought.
• Write about your sports, your food before sport and your sports clothes.
• Use words like "usually", "normally" and "often". They go before the verb.
• Join ideas with "and", "but", "because" and "so".

Examples

1. I usually play basketball after school and at the weekend, and I normally eat a banana before the game.
2. For basketball I wear shorts, a T-shirt and trainers.
3. I love swimming because it makes me strong, so I go twice a week.

Remember!

• Do not write only short sentences.
• Say "I usually play", not "I play usually".

Check yourself

1. Join the sentences with "but": "I like tennis. I play badly."
2. Where does the topic sentence go?
