Reading #1 : My Name is Anna

 

Hello! My name is Anna. I am 12 years old. I live in Jakarta, Indonesia. I have one brother and one sister. My brother’s name is Tom, and my sister’s name is Lisa. We like to play together in the park. My favorite color is blue, and I love to eat ice cream. I go to school every day, and my favorite subject is English. I want to learn English because it is fun and useful.

This is my friend, John. John is 11 years old. He lives near my house. John likes to play soccer and read books. His favorite food is pizza. John is very kind and always helps me with my homework. We often study together after school. John wants to be a doctor when he grows up. He says English is important for his dream because he wants to work in other countries.

In my free time, I like to draw pictures and listen to music. My favorite singer is Taylor Swift. I also enjoy watching cartoons on TV. My family likes to go to the beach on weekends. We swim and build sandcastles together. I am happy when I spend time with my family and friends. Learning English helps me talk to people from different countries and make new friends.
