 1. Mendeskripsikan diri sendiri
Bagian 1

Introduction My name is Maisara but I would like to be called as Sara. I am 29 years

old and a married woman. I am the second child and the only girl among
my 3 brothers in my nuclear family. I have long black hair and brown
eyes. My skin is fair and I have slim physical appearance.

Body/content I took Psychology Counseling while I was in University. After I

graduated, I work as a Counselor in Juvenile Centre which is been under
Social Welfare Department for about 5 years. I love my job because it
gives me a lot of experiences and shows me a different range of life
backgrounds and human behaviors specifically for the youth. All these
experiences are useful to myself and make me realize how I should be
grateful for having a nice and loving family.

Bagian 2

Closing/ However, sometimes I have had a hard time since there are a lot of
conclusion challenges as well. But even so, I have tried to look in a positive side,
because I know dealing with human isn't an easy thing. In order to
improve my work performance and myself, I believe there are still many
things I have to learn, and need to strive for having a better life in the
future.

 2. Mendeskripsikan Orang Lain

Bagian 1

Introduction Someone I admire is my cousin Laura. She is five years older than me, so she
is 19 now and she lives in Bristol. She is very friendly and confident and she
has got long, wavy, brown hair and greeny-brown eyes. She is medium
height, slim and very fit because she is a dancer.

Body/content She has been dancing since she was six years old and trains every day at her
dance school. She wants to be a professional dancer, but it is a very difficult
profession because it is so competitive. She often dances in shows and I’ve
been to watch her several times. Her favorite type of dance is modern, which
is sometimes a bit strange, but I love watching her dance. Laura is very busy
because she also studies photography at university. She is a really good
photographer and has taken lots of amazing photos of me and my family.
Her photos have won a few prizes and last year one of her photos was in an
exhibition at an art gallery in London.

 2. Mendeskripsikan orang lain
Bagian 2

Closing/ Laura does not have a lot of free time and she is also trying to learn
conclusion German because she wants to go to Germany next year to do a
photography course. I think Laura is very hard-working and she
deserves to become a professional dancer one day.
