Dear Mrs.

,
As part of the special convention for the English course, I will describe myself as
described by my family, where I come from, what I like to do and where I have
already been on a trip. Then I will describe what I do during a typical week
during a week of classes as well as a more precise schedule of a school day. But
also what I wear as clothes and what I used to eat and drink.

My name is Copet Pierre, I am 18 years old and I was born on February 21,
2004, I am currently in my second year of bachelor in home automation. I live
in Maubray, a small village close to Antoing and Tournai, I come to school every
day by train or car, because I have a driving license for a little more than 2
months. I have a little sister and my parents have been separated for two years.
My sister is Nina, my dad Yannick and my mom Séverine. My father is 48 years
old and has a new companion named Sabine who has 3 children, Elise, Louis
and Léonie who are 15, 13 and 10 years old. My mother, who is 47, also has a
new companion, his name is Thierry and has a 22-year-old boy named Mathias.
During the separation, my father kept the house we had been living in for 14
years and my mother bought a house in Péruwelz, a small town not far from
Maubray. I am passionate about archery, mountain biking, DIY in general, video
games. I go to the gym 3 or 4 times a week, which helps me clear my head after
a day of classes. In terms of travel, I’ve never flown. On the other hand I
already travel quite a lot in all France and especially in the South of France
where I spend every year more or less 2 weeks during the summer. It’s always
super hot and sunny, the people there are super welcoming, just like in
Germany where we were at the beginning of the year with the school for the
home automation show. I went to London when I was in high school, but I
didn’t speak a word of English. I had trouble making myself understood.

For my weekly program, I will introduce you to a typical day during classes,
according to my school schedule, I get up around 5:30 when I start at 8:30 in
Charleroi. From 5:30 to 6:15, I have lunch, shower, pack my bag, brush my
teeth. At 6.15 I either take the car to Antoing station or my father will drop me
off. My train usually arrives around 6:30 and I stop at St-Ghislain around 6:55 to
wait for my connection which will take me to Charleroi-Sud where I normally
arrive when there are no worries around 7:50, Then I head to the Villette metro
stop on foot to take the metro to the Samaritaine and finally arrive at the
school at 8:15. Then I go to class and on lunch time I usually have a sandwich.
Then continue the day until 5:45 pm. At that moment, I don’t have to hang out
because my train is at 4:12 in the station of Charleroi-Sud, so I have to make
the reverse path only in the morning. When I get to Antoing I take the car back
home or my dad comes to pick me up after his work day. On my way home I
work for the school and then I eat and then watch a series or a film according
to my desire. For the activities I do during the week, on Monday night I often go
to look for my sister at her gymnastics training, on Tuesday I have archery
training, on Wednesday I sometimes go for a ride on a mountain bike if I have
time or then I spend the after-noon at my grandfather’s. On Thursdays I have
classes until 7pm in the design office so I go home by car not to come back too
late at night but so I don’t really have any activities planned for Thursday. On
Friday nights I often go out for drinks with friends but before I go to my second
practice of the week with archery. Or I’ll pick up my sister from her gymnastics
training. For the weekend, I love tinkering so sometimes I spend my day
repairing lots of.
In terms of clothing, I have a pretty basic style of clothing, to go to school, I
often wear blue or black jeans, or classic pants for the bottom and for the top
all depends on my desire, often a sweatshirt, with hood or not, with pockets or
not, I wear vests sometimes, but I also wear shirts when I feel like it. As a shoe,
I love sneakers, especially Nikes and that’s what I wear most of the time and it’s
also comfortable. I have a watch around my wrist all the time. For home when I
come home from school, sometimes I change to be more comfortable to work
for the school. I put on a sweater with a big sweater and take off my shoes to
put on slash. When I work in my DIY shop, I often wear work clothes that are
costal enough not to damage them or even stain them. I wear safety shoes to
make sure I don’t get hurt. I wear work pants and a big sweater with a
sleeveless jacket because it’s not hot in the workshop. When I go in the evening
with my friends, I like to put on a shirt when it’s a special occasion with nice
pants and shoes that go with it but if it’s for a simple evening I wear either a
designer sweatshirt or a Polo. In archery competitions, I have to wear a black
jogging suit and the club jersey, I also have a club sweatshirt. For occasions like
a wedding or christening, I wear a suit with a shirt and leather shoes. I also
sometimes wear a tie. When I go to the gym, I usually wear sports-appropriate
shorts and t-shirts.
For food, I have a healthy diet but not too much, I eat all kinds of vegetables
except chicory, Brussels sprouts, red cabbage, and raw tomatoes. For meat, I
really like all but I prefer a side to the bone rather than a simple piece of
ground steak. I love fish and eat all kinds of fish, but I don’t really like seafood. I
love eating pasta and all kinds of things. But I still prefer tagliatelle to salmon or
spaghetti bolognese. Starch level, I eat a bit of everything but I prefer to eat
rice than simple potatoes. For more elaborate meals, I like couscous, or
tartiflette. What I hate is the fruit since I was a kid, they try to make me eat
fruit but impossible or it’s that I really need it like when I have cramps when
riding a bike, where I have to eat a piece of banana for the cramp to pass. I
often try to taste other fruits but I can not eat them yet I am not allergic. For
lunch at school, I often eat sandwiches or sandwiches and sometimes I feel like
a taco or fast food, it’s not good for my health but it’s still good. I enjoy
spending time with my family at the restaurant and sometimes I invite my
parents to the restaurant. I love Greek restaurants but also Italians. In fact, on
Fridays, whether it’s my father’s or my mother’s, we don’t cook and we go to
the Chinese restaurant to get pizza or fries. Before a party with friends, we
often eat badly but at least our stomach is full. I also like sweets and sometimes
I eat too much but it’s so good ! On the other hand, I drink a lot of water, plain
water or sparkling. I sometimes drink coca or sodas. I don’t often drink wine
but beer.

What I can conclude in this work is that I think I have done all that I liked or not
but that even when I go looking I can not say more about myself. And so I don’t
think I have the 1600 expected words.
