Hello, my name is Mark Guilbert. I’m a thirteen years old Canadian boy. I live in a small town
called Kanata, not far from the capital city Ottawa. I go to Carleton middle school with my two best
friends Tommy and Fred.

s
m
Tommy, Fred and I are members of the school football team. I am the leader of the team. I love
playing football. I’m also keen on learning languages. We have French and German classes twice a
week. I can speak French very well, but I can’t understand German it’s too difficult.

Me and my friends are always together. Tommy is such a funny boy, he tells jokes all the
time. Fred likes to chat too, but he can be very quiet sometimes. I’m a friendly boy and I love

/e
spending time with my best friends.
