Introducing Myself
Read the story.
Hello! My name is Steve. I’m ten years old. My birthday is on the 19th of June.
I am tall and thin. I’ve short, brown hair
and big, brown eyes. I’ve a small nose. People tell me that I have a lovely smile.
There are six people in my family. My father is an engineer. His name is Dan. My mother is a teacher in my school. Her name is Polly. I have two sisters, Tina and Jean. They are twins and are seven years old, but they don’t look like twins. Tina has long brown hair, like my mum. Jean has curly, black hair, like my dad. I also have a younger brother called Tom. He is five years old.
In school, I enjoy maths and art. I also like PE but I don’t like Chinese. I find Chinese difficult to
understand.
In my free time, I play football and basketball. I’m a pretty good basketball player! I’m on the school
basketball team and I’ve won player of the year twice!
I also really enjoy hiking. I usually go hiking on
Sundays with my dad. I like hiking because it is good exercise and I can enjoy the lovely scenery.
