2. THIS IS ME
Hello!
My name is Michael. I am from Sant Pere de Ribes, a city in Barcelona (Spain). I’m 37
years old. I’m short and thin. My eyes are brown. I am bald (I have no hair). I am
friendly, polite and funny.
I live in a house with my family. I speak Spanish, Catalan, English and a little French. I
am an English teacher. I work in Les Roquetes school. I like my job very much.
My hobbies are cooking, travelling, doing exercise, handcrafts, music and technology.
I love baking cakes and decorating them. It’s great sharing them with my family.
Travelling around the World is fantastic. You see different ways of life, you get to
meet interesting people and try different food.
I listen to music everyday. I love going to concerts of my favourite pop stars.
Technology is fun. I like to try new programs and apps. I just started in Tik Tok hehe
Goodbye

3. MY FAVOURITE BOOK
My favourite book is Wonder. It is a fiction story. The author is R.J.
Palacio. This book is a best seller. It was number 1 in New York Times
and it won many awards. It’s got 416 pages.
The story is about August. He is a young boy who is different because
he’s got a facial disease. Some boys bully him, but his family and his
friends stand by his side and help him become stronger.
The main character is August. He’s very fun and friendly. He’s got short
black hair. He likes Science and he’s good at making jokes. His best
friends are Auggie and Jack Will.
I love this book because it’s got a powerful anti-bullying message:
“Treat everyone with respect” and “say no to bullying”.

4. MY BEST FRIEND
My best friend Gemma. She’s a girl. She is short and not so thin.
She is intelligent, friendly and a very good. She has got long
straight hair. She has got green eyes.
She is a very positive person. She is always there to help or to
talk. She gives me good advice. Gemma is 37 years old, like me.
Gemma works in a library. She loves her job and she loves
reading, so I think it’s the perfect job for her. She works in
Tarragona and she goes to her job by train, everyday.
She loves handcrafts, she’s very good at creating artistic objects.
She also plays the piano and she’s a very good cook.
I know Gemma since we were 2 years old!
Goodbye!

5. MY FAVOURITE MUSIC
My favourite kind of music is pop. My favourite band is “La Oreja de Van Gogh”.
I love them. I love the music and the lyrics of their songs. I have all their CD’s
and some concert DVD’s too. I have been to many of their concerts.
I usually listen to all kind of music. I like dance, r&b, pop rock, ballads… it
depends on the moment.
I usually listen to upbeat music when I am in a positive mood and I want to
dance and sing loud. I love to listen to “dance” music when I’m driving my car.
I sometime listen to quiet and relaxing music when I’m working with my
computer.
Also I can play the acoustic guitar, but I don’t play it much lately.
