Personal Profile

Remember the first stage of the writing process: identify your audience and the purpose of your writing. Your profile can be a bio for your Twitter or Instagram account or a job/college application. Consider this before starting writing since all the details should be relevant, informative, and appropriate.

When you do not know what to write, the easiest way is to start answering basic questions about yourself. You can use the answers to create the body of your text. Here are some examples of questions you can try to answer:

• What is your name / last name?
• Do you have a nickname? What is it?
• Where are you from?
• Where do you live?
• How old are you?
• When is your birthday?
• What do you study?
• What is your occupation?
• What languages do you speak?
• What is your favorite color?
• Are you single or married?
• Do you have kids? How many?
• Do you have pets? How many?
• Do you have brothers or sisters? How many?
• What are your hobbies?
• What do you usually do in your free time?
• What is your favorite food? Why?

Example of a personal profile:
My name is Leonardo, but my friends call me Leo. I am from the United States, and I live in New York City, so I speak English. I am 15 years old, and my birthday is on May 15th.

I did not say before, but I am a turtle, a ninja turtle. For this reason, I believe my favorite color is green, and I love my Ninjutsu classes. I like to practice my fight skills, for I fight the enemies every day.

I am single, and I do not have kids. I usually spend my time with my three brothers (Rafael, Donatello, and Michelangelo) and my pet Splinter. I like to watch tv in my free time, and my brothers and I always eat pizza at night.
