Getting to know each other

During these initial couple of weeks we are going to do a series of diagnostic activities.

The very first thing I'd like to know is who I'm working with. So please write an introductory comment -around 100 words- describing yourselves. Here are some questions to help you out:
  • What are you like? How would you describe your personality?
  • What are you interested in? Have you got any hobbies?
  • What is your attitude towards learning English? What are your expectations for this course?
I look forward to reading you!

  1. My name is Malena and I am 17 years old. I have blue eyes and I’m blond. I think that I am an opened mind girl and I used to get angry too fast, a thing that I hate about me.
    I’m very interested in movies, music and from school I love history and also biology, I have done hockey for nine years but since I was fourteen years old I am doing an activity called “trapecio”, is a little part of circus.
    I really like English, I am good at it, last year I took the first certificate exam and fortunately I had approve it. Finally, I expect to continue with my English and try to improve it.

  3. Hi Mariela! My name is Victoria and I'm 17 years old. I have short straight brown hair and brown eyes. I used to dyed my hair a lot but that's actually the reason I had to have it cut.
    I'm really keen on reading and writing. I love literature and I hope to write my own book someday. I attend to a Literature Workshop on Saturday's afternoon at the Mariano Moreno Library so I can improve my writing skills.
    I have studied English since I'm a little girl, I've been to a bilingual school and I'm currently going to an English Institute in Bernal. I'm planning to sit for the FCE this year. I'm also really keen on other languages! Apart from English, I've studied Japanese since I'm 12 and last year I managed to pass the N4 level exam of Japanese :)
    Well, I think that's all. Hope to have a good year together!

  7. Hello, my name is Paula. I’m 17 years old, and I’m turning 18 in October 1st. I have short layered brown hair, and sometimes (when I’m lazy enough so that I don’t put on my contact lenses) I wear glasses. Although I’m usually a cheerful person, sometimes I don’t want anyone to bother me. I’m also very thoughtful girl.
    I’m interested in any kind of art, I draw frequently and play piano and bass guitar. When I graduate from high school, I’m going to study Industrial Design in the UBA University.
    I’ve always liked languages, and I’ve been studying Japanese for five years now. I’m looking forward improving my English this year, and take the First Certificate exam.
