  2. Dear Lucía,

    You have written a very nice piece of writing. Just consider revising your spelling, ok? For example, in British English we say "favourite" not favorite, which is American English. And you are in 3rd (with RD) of ESO. Apart from that, the rest of the text is clear and understandable. So congratulations! :)

    Oh, by the way, it's really nice that you want to be a psychologist. I think it is a very nice profession and I am sure you will be a really good one if you study hard.

    1. Dear Paula,

      You have written a very nice piece of writing. There are some minor mistakes but they are not very important and I am sure that if you pay attention, you will never make them again.

      For example, remember the question "how old ARE you?". If this is the question, the answer must be "I AM 12 years old". So when you speak about your dog (Bruno, right?), you should say that "he IS 4 years old", ok?

      I already knew that you were a Justin Bieber fan but what I didn't know was that you wanted to be a journalist. What a nice profession! I am sure you will be a wonderful journalist in the future! :)

      And as for the film "Never say Never"... I have never heard of it. Is it good? Who are the actors? You have to tell me all about it, ok?

    1. Dear Ariadna,

      You have written a very nice introduction of yourself. In terms of English usage, I have to tell you that you have made the same mistake many times: example... "my mother name's Palmira" should be "my mother's name's Palmira" (you forgot the -'s which means "de" in Spanish or Catalan). Also, you have made a mistake when using the present simple in the third person singular. Example: when you spoke about your father, you said that "he work's in the T.A." It's not necessary to put an apostrophe before the s, because the s is included in the verb. Thus, you should have written: "He works in the T.A.", ok?

      In general, you should revise the spelling in some words because "I" always has to be written in CAPITAL letters and "favorita" is a Spanish word... ;)

      But, apart form that, the text is clear and understandable. Oh, by the way, I also like Rihanna. I don't know the song you talk about "Starships" from Nicki Mingi. Can I find it in YouTube to listen to it?

      And as for your favourite film, I also like "The Wizard of Oz". It's a beautiful film!

      Finally, you say you would like to be a teacher or a journalist. I think both jobs are really nice for you! :)

    2. Yes, my dad Works in T.A.
      Yes, you can fine the song of "Starsships" from Nicki Mingi in YouTube.

    3. Dear Ariadna,

      I have listened to the song in YouTube. It's a beautiful song and very good for dancing! ;)

      Thanks for sharing it with me!

  5. Hello! My name is Albert. I'm thirteen years old.
    I don't have brothers, but I have parents. My mother name is Rita and she works to portfolio and my dad works to admin, her name is Santiago.
    The name of my school is Josep Pla, is an institute. I'm in 2nd of ESO.
    My hobbies are playing football, reading and watching television.
    I really like pop music because it is easy to remember.
    My favourite film is Avatar because there is plenty of action as I like, and because the special effects are awesome.
    At the moment, I would to be sports journalists but I think when I grow I change this opinion.

    1. Hello Albert,

      So you are an only-child, right? This means that you don't have any brothers or sisters. However, I am sure you have lots of good friends and some cousins...

      You have written a beautiful introduction about yourself. There are some mistakes but I am sure you will avoid them if you pay attention in the future. Thus, when you refer to a man - in this case your father, Santiago - you should write "his name is" (not her name is, ok?).

      You mentioned that your favourite film was Avatar. You are lucky this week as I think you can watch this film on TV. It's true that this film is full of action and, I totally agree with you when you say that its special effects are "awesome" (a very nice word, Albert).

      As for the job you would like to to in the future, well, being a journalist is a nice job but, as you say, it's possible for you to change your mind (or opinión) when you get older. Who knows?

    2. Hello Conchi
      Yes, I am only child.
      Thanks for telling me the mistakes I did, now I have understood.
      You're right, what a good job is to be a journalist, but there is much unemployment.
      Thank you for having responded.
      Goodbye Conchi

    1. Hello Carmen!

      How nice all the things you tell us in this "Let's introduce ourselves!" activity. Something I don't understand is that you can study "sixteen course". Does it exist a 16th course in your school? Or maybe did you want to say that you are in the sixth (6th) level of primary education?

      As for your hobbies, what type of "difficult sports" do you like playing? I am curious...

      You mentioned that your favourite singer (with U after the O in British English) is Justin B. I think there are more classmates who like him and his music, too. Do you think his music is BEAUTIFUL? That's great!

      As for films... films are scary not "terrorific", alright?

      And, finally, your ambition for the future... umm, so you want to be a pop star? By the way, do you sing well? And you also would like to be a primary teacher... maybe you could combine your two passions into one: why not being a music teacher with primary children? I am sure you would be a fantastic teacher! :)

    1. Hello Cindy!

      You have written a very nice introduction. There are some minor mistakes, though. For example, you should have said: "Their names are..." when you speak about your brothers. Also, you should have said: "My mother's name is..." using the 's (Genitive Saxon) and the same applies for your father, ok?

      Finally, you speak about your pets (you have many pets!) and your hobbies. So you go dancing sometimes on Saturdays, right? I am sure you must be a really good dancer.

      As for the job you would like to do in the future: criminologist! Phew! That's a very peculiar job. Do you like TV series such as C.S.I and The Mentalist?

    1. Hello Sol. You have also written a very nice introduction. The sentences are very clear, too.

      Your hobbies are nice. Listening to music and dancing are very typical hobbies but, in my opinión, two of the best hobbies a person can have... ;)

      The type of music that you like is also very interesting: pop, house and R&B are nice music styles.

      And as for the profession you would like to have in the future: you say that you would like to be a business woman or an economist. Phew! Are you sure? These professions seem to be having problems nowadays... ;) However, I am sure you will be a fantastic business woman or economist if you really want to do that. Any kind of business in mind?

    1. Hello Anna,

      Your introduction is very nice and clear. There are some minor mistakes but they are nothing serious. For example, you explain that your father works AS a photographer (not "of photographer", ok?).

      As for your hobbies, I think dancing and singing are very nice hobbies. Do you sing well? I think so because you say that you sing in a choir!!! As for your favourite singers, I also like Rihanna and Adele but I don't know many songs by Mackelmore or Kesha. Can you tell me some of their most famous songs?

      Finally, your plans for the future. So you say you would like to be a sports therapist or a psychologist, right? I firmly believe both professions are very nice. Do you have any preference? :)

    1. Dear Salma,

      You have written a very nice introduction. Pay attention to some mistakes you have made, ok? For example: "broders" is "broTHers" in English, ok? Also pay attention to the genitive saxon (example: my mother's name's Yolanda" and "my father's name's Jordi). In both cases you need to put the 's after mother and father, right?

      It is also very important to remember that the personal pronoun "I" always has to be written in CAPITAL LETTER, ok?

      As for your hobbies, I think dancing and swimMing (with double M) are very nice hobbies.

      You also say that you don't have ANY favourite singer but you do have a favourite film: Mamma Mia. I also like this film a lot. I think it's very funny and the songs are beautiful!

      Finally, your plans for the future: you say that you would like to be a stewardess. Phew! That's very nice but it also means that you will need to learn many foreign languages: English, French, German, Italian...etc. Are you learning more languages apart from English? :)
