Talk about yourself (writing)

We are already approaching the end of the academic year. We are going to review a little bit today the most important things of this course. Look at the top picture. That girl, Mary, talk us about herself. You, like her, must use nine sentences:

1. A greeting.
2. Your name.
3. Your age.
4. The month of your birthday.
5. What you have and what you don't have.
6. What you can do and what you cannot do.
7. What you are wearing.
8. Your favorite animal.
9. What you like for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Here you have a PDF worksheet so you can write those sentences and make your own drawing. Remember everything we studied this year and follow the example of Mary's sentences. This will be easier. You can color your picture if you feel like it. 

If you can't print the PDF worksheet, you can also do it all on a separate sheet.

Please, at the end, send me your worksheets to fogarnews@gmail.com.
