Speaking: My Profile

Hello, I’m Liza. I’m a teenager from Ukraine. Do you know how to give a profile of yourself? If your answer is negative, I can help you with some tips to give a profile of yourself.

What is a profile? A profile is an introduction of yourself.

Here are my tips how to give a profile of yourself:

Introduce yourself (name, surname, age, date and place of birth)
Describe yourself (your appearance: height, build, hair, eyes, other; clothes style)
Tell about your family, pets, hobbies, interests, preferences, likes and dislikes)
Describe your character, giving examples to prove it (Are you hard-working, responsible, lazy, reliable, sporty, musical, ambitious, a couch potato, a computer wizard, a chatterbox, etc.? What qualities you like/dislike most in people?)
Say something about your friends (what you have in common, what real friends do/ never do; what friends you appreciate; what people you could never be friends with)
Say something about your school, favourite subjects and teachers (what subjects you are good/bad at; attitude to learning/reading)
Say what you would like to be when you grow up (set up high goals, become successful in life, be respected by people, do something worthwhile, become skillful at some job)
Say something else that you think is important to know about you.
