Writing About Yourself

What are we learning today?

You will learn to write a paragraph about yourself with longer sentences.

Explanation

• A paragraph is a group of sentences about one topic.
• Write your name, place, likes and daily life.
• Make a long sentence: idea + and, but, so or because + idea.
• Start with your name and place.
• End with a friendly line, like "Write back soon!"

Examples

1. My name's Dana and I live in Almaty.
2. I like drawing and I go to an art club.
3. I like listening to my grandfather tell interesting stories.

Remember!

• Write sentences, not a list of words.
• One paragraph has one topic.
