Please use this lesson to practice talking about yourself. You can print it, then practice with a mirror. Or you can practice it with a friend. If you don’t have a friend, you can use a paper fox.
You don’t need to use all the sentences. Please read the example carefully. There will be another lesson tomorrow.
