Activity7: Individual Task

Autobiography: Writing Task

Carefully read the following Autobiographies written by ESL learners studying at the

intermediate level. Then write a similar Autobiography of yourself in the work sheet.

Diletta

I was born in Florence, a very fine Italian city. My father is a businessman. He imports

and exports coral and everything which ladies love. My mother is a housewife. I grew up

in Florence with a brother, Leonard, who came from India, and a sister who is like me, but

she's blond. My sister and I are like our father, but I'm like my mother too. When I started

school, I was in the middle class and I didn't work very hard! My brother and I invented

many games - one day we were in the "Far West", another day we were mother and

child..... Both my brother and my sister are younger than me. When my sister was a little

older, we all played together. Our parents used to give us all the money we needed,

without exaggeration. We spent this on everything we needed - cinema tickets, books,

petrol for the motorcycle etc.

Hsiu-feng

I was born in a city in Taiwan called Taipei. My father was a restaurant manager and my

mother was a housewife. I started school in Taipei when I was six. I had two older sisters.

They were both very intelligent and were always in the top class. We used to play with the

other children in our street. We played baseball and rode bicycles in a field near our

house. When I was eight, I learned ballet and also started painting. My dream was to be a

ballet dancer. My favourite times were during the school holidays. In the summer, we

visited my grandparents' house. They lived near the seaside. They were friendly and

interesting. I loved them and we all enjoyed our summers there.

Sara

I was born in a small town called Recco, near Portafino. My father was a clerk in the bank

where he still works and my mother was and is a secretary. During my early childhood,

my family moved house four times. I started school in Recco when I was six. I was an

only child - I don't have any brothers or sisters. I was usually in the middle class since I

didn't study very hard. I spent my money on sweets and ice-cream, but spent my holidays

in the mountains.

A good beginning is half of the battle

Any good effort (†h †Kvb fvj D‡Ïk¨) usually (mvaviYZ) brings good result. It means that if we

start any work sincerely (hZœmnKv‡i) it will lead (cwiPvwjZ Ki‡e) to our cherished goal

(`xN©jvwjZ ¯cœ). Half hearted beginning will not bring good result. When we do anything we

should do it with full dedication (m¤ú~Y© AvšÍwiKZv mnKv‡i). In the examination hall, for

example, an examinee who starts writing his answers correctly may expect (Avkv Ki‡Z cv‡i)

a good result. If the beginning is bad we cannot expect a good end. Our first serious effort

will inspire (DrmvwnZ Ki‡e) us to use much of our strength (kw³/ mvg_© ) and determination

(`„p msKí) to complete the work.
