The text:
My name is Maria and I am 12 years old. I was born in Vila Real, Portugal. There are many young people
there because they are studying at the University.
My favourite place in Vila Real is my home. It is big, comfortable and near the river. In my house
there are two floors. Downstairs, there is a living room, a dining room, a kitchen and a hall. Upstairs, there
are four bedrooms. My bedroom is next to my parents’. I share it with my younger brother. In front of the
house there is a big garden with lots of flowers. Some of the trees are very big and tall. I
always play there.
My father, Eduardo, is a teacher in a primary school. Some of his pupils
sometimes come to our house and play with me. They are very nice to me.
I have a lot of friends. We do a lot of things together. After school, we play with
our dolls or listen to our favourite music. In the summer, we like swimming in the river.
Sometimes we pack some sandwiches and fruit juice and have a picnic near the river.
