When you meet new people, you often want to tell them about yourself. Let's learn how to do this in English!

Common hobbies:

Write a short introduction of yourself.
"Hi! My name is Oliver. I am 10 years old and I live in Bergen, Norway.
I have one sister and one brother. My sister is older than me.
I like football and video games. My favorite subject at school is math. I don't like getting up early!
In my free time, I play football with my friends."
- Not just: "I like sports."
- Better: "I like sports, especially football. I play football every Saturday."
Ask yourself:
- Why do I like this?
- When do I do this?
- Who do I do this with?
Complete these sentences about yourself:

Write three sentences about your hobbies. What do you like to do? When? With who?
Write a text about yourself (5-8 sentences). Include: your name and age, your family, your hobbies, what you like and don't like.
