Emma's Students Stories, Self-Intro by Jerry

My name is Jerry. I am fifteen years old. My birthday is November 24th. There are four people in my family. I have one younger sister. My father is fifty-two years old. When my friends first saw my father, they asked, “Who's that...your brother? ?” I said “No!! He is my father! !” they said “He is handsome! He looks like your brother!” When I heard that, I felt awkward. I don't even know how old my mother is, either, because my mother said “A woman's age is a secret!” I am a junior high school student. I like to go to school, because I have many friends and a girlfriend at school. At school, I can play basketball and talk with my friends. I like to play at school, but I must study hard!!

I like to play basketball and go running. I'm a talkative person. It is very difficult to keep me quiet, especially since my friends like to talk to me. We always talk a lot in class. I always say some interesting thing. Everyone likes to listen.
