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.
