Enhance English Skills

Who are you?


Hi!
I’m eleven years old. I live in Barcelona with my family.
My eyes are big and blue. I have long brown hair. I’m short and slim.
My hobbies are reading books and spending time with my friends. I like sports and my favorite ones are basketball and running.
I’m very sporty but a little shy. I’m shy with people I don’t know.
Mari Carmen, Paula and I are best friends. We play together all the time. We usually buy candies to eat after school.
