Writing About Yourself

What are we learning today?

You will write a short paragraph about yourself and the sport you do. You will put your sentences in a good order.

Explanation

• Start with a topic sentence.
• Then add details in order.
• Use the present simple for habits.
• Use words like usually, normally, often and sometimes.
• Join your sentences with and, then and because.
• Remember the -s with he and she.

Examples

1. I like sport.
2. I usually play football after school with my friends.
3. Before training I normally eat a banana.
4. My favourite sport is football because it is a team game.

Remember!

• Write a paragraph, not a list.
• Use the present simple for habits.
