welcome to learning English with Liane
help with the writing this video will
show you how to write about yourself
with short paragraphs and how to write
more this is for pre intermediate
students certificate 1 and certificate
to English students write about yourself
what to write here are some good ideas
to help you write about yourself in a
short paragraph write sentences for your
name and how old you are where you live
and what country you are from your
marital status say you married single or
divorced how long you have been in the
country or city what do you like about
it here's an example for you my name is
Hassan and I'm 34 years old I live in
Sydney but I am from Afghanistan I am
married and we have been in Australia
for 8 months
I like Australia because it's very clean
and we can have a good life here so
here's a good example there are
sentences for name how old where they
live what country is from their marital
status how long in Australia why they
like Australia it's a good way to start
your writing to write about yourself
next you could write a paragraph about
your family so again what to write in a
short paragraph write sentences for you
could write about your children how many
children how old do they go to school
what are their names you can write about
your wife or husband
how old what is their job what are they
like are they friendly happy busy people
you could write about your brothers and
sisters how old are they where do they
live what are their jobs what are their
names or you could write about a good
friend of yours
their name and how old they are what is
their job and their characteristics what
type of people are they friendly happy
funny quiet here's another example for
you I have two sons and a daughter
my sons are 7 and 9 years old and go to
primary school but my daughter is 2 and
is in childcare my my wife is 29 years
old and she is an accountant she works
in the city so here we have written
about their children
how old are their children what schools
- their children go - and also about his
wife so now we can put these two
paragraphs together to make one piece of
writing
so paragraph 1 our personal details and
then we're going to add paragraph 2 so
we started new paragraph with a space
and we put a paragraph about our family
so now you can see you have a nice long
piece of writing with two paragraphs one
about personal details and one about
family so now you could write more about
your home what to write in a short
paragraph write sentences for where the
house is how many bedrooms does the
house have give details about the house
it's a big small old new quiet you could
write something you like about it or
something you don't like about it
doesn't have a garden or tell me about
the bathroom the kitchen give some
information here's an example I live in
Sydney with my family my house has three
big bedrooms and two bathrooms it is
clean and has a good kitchen we have a
beautiful garden and I grow vegetables
in the summer I like it because it is
close to the bus stop and shops this
writing has where and who they live with
it tells us how many bedrooms and
bathrooms
it talks about the kitchen and the
garden and something we like about it so
here are some good ideas for you to
write about your home in your next
paragraph you can write about your
hobbies or free time so what to write
write the name of the hobby when and
where you do the hobby and why do you do
it use because to say why the example I
play football at home every day on
Sunday mornings we usually play with our
friends and the children in the park I
like football because it is good
exercise and I spend time with my
friends so we have football the name
when every day and Sunday mornings we're
at home in the park and why it's good
exercise and I spend time with my
friends this is just one hobby and you
can see that when we write when and
where and why we have much longer
writing maybe you have more hobbies
here's another example for you again we
need the name
where and why also I read books and
watch movies I like watching English
movies because I learn new words and
practice my listening I read the
newspaper in English every day because
it helps me understand what people are
talking about so we have two hobbies in
this paragraph we have why do we watch
movies and then why do we read the
newspaper so if you had more hobbies you
could write again the next hobby the
name when where and why so now if we
look at all of our writing together we
had our paragraph one our personal
details we had then the paragraph about
our family so we're putting this all
together for one nice piece of writing
then we had our paragraph three about
our home you can see our writing is
getting longer and longer then we have
our fourth paragraph about our hobbies
so we're adding more information about
ourselves
first we had personal details then we
have family then we have where we live
our home and then we have our hobbies so
we can build a nice piece of writing a
long piece of writing now it's your turn
write about yourself write a new
paragraph for each topic like we just
watched the first one is a personal
information the second paragraph write
about your where you live your house or
home write a third paragraph about your
family and then write a fourth paragraph
about your hobbies or your freetime
activities remember to use and but and
because to write longer sentences and
ask your teacher or a friend to check it
