If i were not me...

I imagined if I have a different national in the speaking class. I decided some conditions to think it. These are some conditions.

I am Jessica. I live in Ottawa in Canada with my wife and 2 children. My wife is Marry and we have been marrying for 5 years.

My family has a history. My grand parents migrated to Canada from England for a long time ago. And then, my father; British man engaged to Canadian woman. So I am a British-Canadian.

My job is an instructor of skydive for beginners. I have been working for about 10 years. When the beginners want to do it, I usually skydive with them. I am able to get some pleasures from their smile when I work every time.

In addition, I have many hobbies. For example, taking pictures, fishing, skiing, cooking and so on. But especially, I love taking photos. I sometimes go to the beautiful places and take some pictures. To my surprise, I was prized 1st place at the big photo contest. The picture was run in the famous photo magazine. I nearly wept for joy about it. (187 words)

my imaginary identity

Hi, my name is Marry. I am 26 years old now.

First, I will talk about my job. I am a carpenter. We usually build houses and buildings. I became a carpenter when I was 16 years old, so I experienced building a lot of buildings. Most impressive incident was I could participate in building Roppongi hills when I was 22 years old. It was really good experience for me!!

Secondly, my hobby is surfing. When summer comes, I go to the beach and go surfing every year. My favorite surf spot is Syonan in Kanagawa prefecture. Many people visit there every year and enjoy swimming and surfing.

Then, I will talk about something my hate. Especially, I do not like cleaning the house. I am a little bit lazy… so my room is in mess. But I have a boyfriend and I want to marry him in the future, so I must used to be cleaning the room and so on. Now I am trying to keep clean my room everyday. (172 word)
