WRITING PAGE 77
Write a paragraph about yourself so that people who read it will get to know you better. You could write about yourself from any point of view, or choose one of the following topics.
• What I enjoy doing most
• What makes me angry
• What I hate to do
• What I want to become
(Remember to give a reason or details of what you write about so that anyone reading it will understand you better.)
After you have
finished your paragraph, affix your photo on the sheet and display it on the
wall. Read each other’s paragraphs.
Did you understand someone else better after you had read what he/she wrote?
Answer:
Peace is something I
enjoy. Every day, I set aside time to sit and relax. In the evenings, I do this
on the terrace, and in the mornings, I do it in the nearby park. I don't use my
earphones, phone, or anything else while doing so.
I just stare at the
birds flying around and the sun in the sky in the morning. Because of the
peaceful breeze, I enjoy the sound of birds chirping and leaves rustling
against each other. I study the stars in the evenings to see what shapes they
form.
Yes, when I read what my friends had written, the notes on the wall helped me understand them better.
