WRITE ABOUT SOMEONE
ME, MYSELF AND I
Let me introduce myself…
Parler de soi, se présenter… C’est ce qu’un élève apprend à faire en langue depuis la 6ème. Mais comment passer à un niveau de langue plus riche ? Les mots ou expressions en vert donnent des exemples de ce que l’on peut faire pour améliorer son expression.
Who am I ? My first name is Josephine and my last name is Dupuis. I was born in la Roche sur Yon, in France.
I was born in August, on the 10th, in 2007. This means I am 16 years old.
What do I look like ?
I am 1,63 m tall and I am right-handed. I have got hazel eyes and long brown hair. My friends say I am slim, but I don’t agree with them!
I am scared of snakes, I am very fond of cats. I am also keen on movies and movie stars.
Who do I live with ?
There are 6 people in my family. I’ve got two sisters named Louise and Marguerite, and one brother called Clément.
We live in a house and I’ve got my own bedroom, which I love, as it is big and quiet. I’ve just redecorated it.
I live with both my parents and we have 3 cats, one he-cat called Tommie, and two she-cats called Fifi and Réglisse. As you can imagine, Réglisse is black. She is my favourite, and she always sleeps in my bedroom.
What am I like, personality-wise ?
Well, I am rather messy, but I’m making big efforts to get better everyday, which is very difficult !
I am terrible at cooking, but I am getting better little by little. By the way, I like doing handy work in general.
I think I am rather patient, and I am hardworking and generous.
I am considerate to the people I see everyday. My parents and siblings all say that I am very talkative. I always speak, even in the morning, which bothers everybody around me.
Most of the time, I am optimistic. But when the weather is bad, or if I make a mistake, like breaking something, or when I have to hurry, I become really pessimistic, but it never lasts, because I get on everybody’s nerves and I feel lonely and it makes me change my mood.
What am I interested in ?
I’m fond of books, especially the ones that make me laugh or cry. I enjoy practising gymnastics every Wednesday with my best friend, and above all, I love playing the piano with my teacher, Chopin in particular.
I am not into drawing, as I don’t have any inspiration.
There is one of my school mates I can’t stand, because I think she is very pretentious. She is always showing off about her new shoes or her new make-up.
I can’t bear watching horror films, since they make me have nightmares, they scare me to death !
I hate football, but I prefer rugby.
I love watching action or romantic films. And of course, I prefer watching them with friends. I am crazy about Timothy Chalet, I think he is a very good actor, and of course he is so handsome. it started when I first watched Titanic and last summer, I just loved Inception. I could not stop watching it.
My family and friends make fun of me every time I talk about him. They all go like : « Timothy…. huh, really ? »
But it’s funny !
I like climbingvery much, because I find it very relaxing. I also really like singing in a choir. I attend a voice lesson every week-end with friends.
I am interested in films, I think going to the movies is always exciting. I would like to take guitar lessons, but it is too late to start now.
What do I do everyday ? I get up at 6:45 a.m. I leave home for school at è:45, as I live next to school, and it only takes me two minutes to go there.
I have bread and butter for breakfast, and when I’m very hungry, I eat cereal. I go to bed at 9:30, and then I read until 10:00p.m. I practise tennis every Saturday morning with my Dad, and after that, I do yoga and stretching on my Wii.
What did I do during my last holidays ?
I went to the South of France with my grandparents for 2 weeks. It was awesome ! I could stay in the swimming-pool as long as I wanted to, and I could see all my cousins.
Finally, before coming back to Angers, we all went to Paris to attend a wedding ceremony. It was so exciting ! I usually think weddings are boring but this one was special. Maybe because it was in Paris….
That is all for now…
