My name is Mary Spencer and I am a forty-year-old English teacher. I was born on the 25 th May
in Dublin. When I was eight years old, I was tall and so thin that my nickname was “bones”. I had
long curly blond hair and my eyes were blue. I had a small nose and my lips were red like roses. I
was very pretty and intelligent. My favourite hobby was reading. Look at me in this picture. As you
can see, I had a book in my hand and I was very happy. I had no brothers or sisters so I was always
alone. The garden was my favourite place because there I was able to read my books in peace. As I
was very shy, I didn’t have many friends.“The Little Prince” is the book of my life. It is a great story
written by a French writer, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

It was given to me by my teacher. She was an amazing woman. Her name was Elizabeth and she
was a great teacher, always ready to help the students.
