Hi! My name´s Sophia Martinez, and I´m 40 years old. I just began to study here, and I want to introduce myself

English for two years in Acapulco before I moved here. I moved here because I got tired of the hot weather in
Guerrero. I prefer the warm weather in Cuernavaca. I´d worked as a teacher for many years before I moved here.
When I got here, I had a hard time finding a job as a teacher, so I decided to find a job as a secretary. Now I want
to finish my English studies so I can become an English teacher. I have many friends. My friends say I´m a
person who is hard-working and intelligent. I think they are right!
I´d like to get to know everyone in this class and become friends with everyone. I think I´m friendly and outgoing
person. I don´t like to spend time by myself. So I hope that soon we can all go out for coffee and get to know each
other better.
