👤 My Introduction Story
Hello, my name is Daniel. I come from Brazil, but now I live in Canada. My hometown in Brazil is small, but very beautiful. It has many green fields and a big river. I lived there with my parents and my sister.
As a child, I liked to play soccer with my friends after school. We played in the street until it got dark. Soccer was my favorite sport, and it made me very happy.
When I finished high school, I wanted to learn more English. So, I moved to Canada. At first, it was difficult. The weather was very cold, and I did not understand many English words. Sometimes I felt shy when people talked to me.
But little by little, I learned. I studied English every day and practiced speaking with my classmates. They were friendly and helped me a lot.
Now, I am a student at a college in Toronto. I study computer science. I enjoy my classes and my teachers are very kind. I also have a part-time job in a small café. I serve customers and practice English with them.
In my free time, I still love soccer. I play with new friends at the park. I also enjoy watching movies in English. They help me learn new words.
That’s a little about me.
🔎 Detailed Story with Explanations
Our story begins with me saying, “Let me tell you a little story.”
Hello, my name is Daniel. I come from (to be from a place) Brazil. But now, I live in Canada. My hometown in Brazil is small, but very beautiful (nice to look at). It has many green fields and a big river (a large stream of water). I lived there with my parents and my sister.
As a child, I liked to play soccer (a sport with a ball you kick, also called football in many countries). I played soccer with my friends after school. We played in the street (a road in a city or town) until it got dark. Soccer was my favorite sport (an activity like soccer, tennis, or basketball). It made me very happy.
When I finished high school, I wanted to learn more English (the language we are studying now). So, I moved to Canada. At first, it was difficult (not easy). The weather (sun, rain, cold, hot, etc.) was very cold (not warm). I did not understand many English words. Sometimes, I felt shy (not comfortable, afraid to talk) when people talked to me.
But little by little, I learned. I studied English every day and practiced (did something many times to get better) speaking with my classmates. They were friendly (kind and nice to other people) and helped me a lot.
Now, I am a student (a person who studies) at a college in Toronto. I study computer science. I enjoy my classes, and my teachers are very kind. I also have a part-time job (work you do to earn money) in a small café. I serve customers (help people who buy something) and practice English with them.
In my free time, I still love soccer. I play with new friends at the park (a green place in a city for people to walk and play). I also enjoy watching movies in English. They help me learn new words.
That’s a little about me.
