My auto biography

Hey peeps, this week's activity is quite simply although quite useful in order for you to get used to writing in English. Each writing activity will be introduced by a sample of real writing written by me. This week we have to write our autobiography, and here is mine!



I was born on Santiago the 1st of July of 1987. I have lived my entire life in Santiago except for the year I was abroad in the UK. Until recently, I lived with my parents, Violeta and Andrés, my little sister, Angela, and my two dogs, Perri and Epi. I have an older sister who moved out two years ago. Last Sunday, I moved out from my parents' house in Lo Prado to an apartment in Santiago Centro. Now, I live with my girlfriend and a small puppy called Chipolita.



I studied in Santiago Centro, in a small school called Colegio Santa Cruz. This school was both my elementary and high school. Then, I went to Juan Gómez Millas, where I studied English Linguistics and Literature. After finishing my BA, I pursued an MA in English Linguistics at Juan Gómez Millas (It seems I really like that campus). A year ago, I earned a scholarship to study Philosophy of Mind and Cognitive Science at the University of Birmingham in the UK. Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath come from Birmingham. Tolkien was inspired by two important towers in Birmingham when he wrote "The Two Towers".

I like reading a lot, even more than playing computer games and watching movies. I think that writing and reading are two of the greatest human inventions ever. I often read a book a week, although if I have enough time, I can read 3 to 5 books a week. I often re-read books in order to interpret them in a different way. I also like running and practicing martial arts a lot, because for a long time people told me I was not fit for sports because I'm a huge nerd and my lungs were pretty weak. 

I'm working as a university teacher, and I have been doing that for the past four years. Surprisingly, I do not have a teaching degree, I only have academic degrees. I really like teaching, specially linguistics and theoretical grammar because I feel that I'm getting paid for studying and having interesting conversations.

Please, for this week's blog, write your autobiography including the following topics:

- Birth info
- Studies info (elementary/high school/ univ)
- Family Info
- Hobbies
- Others...

For this assignment, the minimum of words is 100. Also, you have to make comments on three of your classmates posts. It can be questions, sharing experiences, etc..
