Activity 4:

can use the following questions to get ideas:
Physical appearance:
Is your hair long or short?
What colour is your hair
and your eyes?
Have you got a large or small mouth?
Are you strong, fat, thin,
etc?
What do you usually wear?
Character:
How is your relationship
with other people and with yourself?
What do you like doing
in your free time? What are your hobbies?
2. You can also look for friends in the
internet to improve your English and write emails to them. When you
write emails to people abroad they are called
keypals Now prepare an introduction of
yourself. We will post it in the internet later. Start deciding what to
say about you:
Your age
Place of birth
Your physical description
Where you live: describe the
city, town, neighborhood
Your family
Your hobbies
Write a description
of yourself and save your work in your disk as "My description"
You will
use this description in your first message to a keypal very soon.
