October has started and you are in a new KET group, getting ready to sit for the University of Cambridge Key English Test. If you work hard this year, I am sure you will be soon ready to pass this level with flying colours!
So it's time to introduce ourselves in this blog and get to know a bit about the other members of our class.
In your introduction you must include the following information:
1) Your name (not your surnames or your address!) Remember you are writing in a blog and this information is PRIVATE, ok?
2) Your age (how old are you?)
3) Some information about your family (e.g. do you have any brothers or sisters? How old are they? Do you get on well with them?, etc.)
4) Something about your school (is your school a big school or a small one? Which are your favourite subjects? Which subjects you find more difficult?. Describe a bit your school: speak about its facilities, for example)
5) your hobbies (what do you like doing in your free time?)
6) your favourite music (do you have a favourite singer or group? Why do you like him/her/them? etc.)
7) your favourite film (what type of films are your favourite ones? E.g. romantic films, science-fiction films, action films, horror films, etc)
8) your ambitions for the future (for example: "I want to be an astronaut!").
Now you can use these 8 questions to write a short paragraph introducing yourselves.
Hello ¡!!!
ResponderEliminarMy name is Laia I’m ten years old, I’ve got a brother, his name is Arnau he is 14 years
old, and he’s basketball player, I’m always figth with him.
I go to safa school on six level and I have a lot of friends there is very big my school.
My favourite subject is inglish, is art
Whe have swimming pool a gim and theatre.
My hobby is to bother my brother
My favourite music is paraiso, my favourite tipus of film is terror
My ambition for the future is to be an hairdresser
Dear Laia,
EliminarYou have written a very good introduction. There are some minor mistakes you should try to avoid in the future, ok?
For example,
1) Your brother is "a basketball player" and "I always fight with him", not "I'm always fight". So the verb To Be is not necessary in this sentence.
2) Be careful with spelling!! Your favourite subject is English (not "inglish"!!!) and the place where you practise sport is the gymn (not "gim"), alright? Similarly, we say "type of film", not "tipus".
Finally, you have a really nice ambition for the future. I am sure one day you will be an excellent hairdresser if you study hard and practise with the scissors!! ;)
Bye!
Hello Conchi! My name's Júlia. I'm nineteen years old. I don’t have any brothers or sisters. My school is big, my favorite subject is anatomy and pathology because is funny and interesting. In my free time I usually go to the gym and watching TV. My favorite singer is Adele because I love her songs. My favorites films is romantic for example "The twilight saga" and “The vow" because I like the love stories. I want to be a nurse!! The best Nurse!!!! I would like to work in Vall d'Hebron! The best Hospital in Catalonia.
ResponderEliminarDear Júlia,
EliminarYou have written a very good introduction!!! So congratulations!
There are some minor mistakes you should pay attention to in order not to make them again in the future.
For example:
1) Be careful with spelling! We say "favourite" in British English. "favorite" is American English. It's not that your spelling is bad but try to be consistent and remember you will be sitting a British exam, ok?
2) Don't forget the pronoun IT!!! For example: "because IT is funny and interesnting".
3) "In my free time I usually go to the gym and I watch TV". "Watching" is not good here.
4) Remember that adjectives in English don't have the plural -s. So you can't say "My favourites films". You simply say "my favourite films", ok?
Well, and that's all. Once again congratulations for this nice introduction. I am sure one day you will be an excellent nurse in Vall d'Hebron or in any other hospital where you want to work! :)
Bye!!!
Hello,
ResponderEliminarmy name is Lucia I'am eleven years old. I have one sister, her name is Daniela she is eight years old, we get along very good but sometimes we get along bad. My school is big, my favourite subjest is art, the subject more difficult are maths. The facilities are a gym, nursery, a big yard...My hobbies are sing, dance and paint. I like pop music, I don't have any singer group . I don't have favourite film, my type of film is romantic film, science-ficion films and action film. I want to bea singer or a painter of pictures.
Dear Lucía,
EliminarCongratulations for this nice introduction! There are some minor mistakes you should try to avoid in the future, ok?
For example:
1) We say "I'm or I am", but not "I'am"
2) Use punctuation! You have to divide your sentences using full stops (.) so that your sentences are not too long and difficult to read. For instance: "I have one sister. Her name is Daniela and she is eight years old. We get along very well... etc."
2) When you speak about your hobbies remember to use the -ing. E.g. My hobbies are singing, dancing and painting.
I think you have two nice ambitions. And who knows...? Maybe one day I will see you on the stage singing beautiful songs or I will visit one of your exhibitions to see your wonderful paintings!! :)

Hello!
ResponderEliminarMy name is Claudia, I'm thirtten years old. I have one brother, he is eight years old. My school is very big. My favourite subjects is PE and art. In my free time I meet with my friends and watching TV. I haven't got favourite singer. My favourite films are "Lo imposible" and "Titanic". I don't know my ambition for the future.
Dear Claudia,
EliminarYou have written a really good introduction.
There are some mistakes to pay attention to. For example:
1) Spelling! We say "thirteen" with one t
2) In the sentence: "In my free time I meet with my friends and watching TV"... the last part should be "and I watch TV".
3) Remeber we use "any" in negative sentences. Thus, you should say: "I haven't got ANY favourite singer", ok?
Finally, I also like the two films that you mention in your introduction. Although I think it's impossible to watch them without crying a bit. Don't you think?
And don't worry if you don't have any ambition for the future at this moment. I am sure one day you will have one or more than one!!! ;)

Dear Marta,

For example:
1) Use punctuation!!! E.g. I have a brother. His name is Miquel and he is twenty years old. My mother's name is Maricarmen and my father's name is Jorge.
2) Have you checked the word "cooker" in the dictionary? I am sure that if you do, you will immediately realise that it's very strange to want to be a cooker in the future, haha... Perhaps you mean that you would like to be a "cook", right?

For example:
1) If you have two brothers, you have to say that "THEIR names are Jose, who is 15 years old, and Jordan, who is 9 years old".
2) Maybe I am wrong but I think Romeo Santos is a man, right? Then, you "love HIS songs"... ;)
In general your introduction is clear and understandable, Cindy! Pay attention to minor things: adjectives don't have -s so you can't say "favouriteS"; consider sentence word order in "The most difficult subjects are history and literatura".
Finally, you have a very peculiar ambition. Who knows? Perhaps one day you will be doing a similar job to the one that we can see in C.S.I. ;)

Dear Elisa,
EliminarYou have written a very nice introduction. There are some mistakes that you should pay attention to.

1) Adjectives in English don't have plural -s. So you can't say that "your favouriteS subjects are P.E and Art". You have to say "my favourite subjects are...", ok?

Well, and that's all. Continue working hard!

(the text is literal as Vania wrote it)
Dear Vania,
EliminarYou have written a very nice introduction.
There are some mistakes you should avoid in the future. For example:
1) Careful with the pronoun "I". You always have to write I in capital letter, ok?
2) Careful with punctuation. Use full stops (.). E.g. I have a sister. Her name is Paula...
3) Doesn't goes with he, she and it. So you can't say: "I doesn't like...". You have to say "I don't like..."
4) Careful with spelling: wat is wrong. You have to write "what"
5) like + verb in -ing. So you like "doing your homework", alright?
In general, it is a very good piece of writing, Vania. Congratulations!

Hello Elena,
EliminarYou have written a very nice introduction. There are some mistakes that you need to pay attention to.
For example:
1) Use punctuation. E.g. Hi! My name is Elena and I'm 13 years old.
2) Careful with spelling: hobby (not hooby), I (always in CAPITAL LETTER), because (not beacouse), etc.
3) The word "children" is always plural in English: 1 child, 2 children... so you don't have to add a plural -s, ok?
Finally, you have a very nice ambition for the future. I am sure you will be a very good teacher one day if you study hard and get ready for it.
Bye! :)
This piece of writing belongs to Cury, who also had problems to publish his introduction in this blog.
ResponderEliminar"Hello! My name is Cury. I'm eleven years old. I've got a sister her name is Pauny.
I live with my parents and my sister, but my cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. live in Ecuador.
My school is small but my class is big. My favourites subjects are P.E. and Maths.
In my free time I play football with my friends. I want to be a football player.
Bye!"
(The text is literal as Cury wrote it)
Dear Cury,
EliminarYou have written a very good introduction. It's easy to understand and quite clear. There are, though, some mistakes you need to pay attention to. For example:
1) Punctuation. In the sentence "I've got a sister her name is Pauny", you need to put a full stop (.) after the word sister and then write "her" with capital letter H. Thus, the sentence would read: "I've got a sister. Her name is Pauny".
2) Remember that adjectives in English don't have plural -s. Thus, you can't say "My favourites subjects are..." but the correct version is "My favourite subjects are...", ok?
Apart from that, the introduction is really good, Cury. Congratulations!
Bye! :)
