You can say how and why you feel above your age, or younger than your age. You can say what 16 years mean for you... how the last year happened... if there was a big change from 15 to 16 years old... I mean... you could just write a novel about "I am sixteen years old". As far as being "shy" you could explain why you think is better or worse to be "timid" and how you consider that a virtue? (or a problem?) You could expand about how you feel about being 'shy'... That is to say, you could explore a whole universe of "introspection" talking about you... You could check up on the "legend of Narcisus" who was in love with himself, and was always watching himself in the water of the river or the lake (there were no mirrors at the time...) There is a Spanish author (Azorín) who describing a blind pianist (if I well remember) he said he had reached a lot of knowledge of life, just by studying more and more about his piano and his music... With all the above, I just wanted to say that you can take anything you have around you... like "a stapler" (which I have on my desk) and you can write a whole tale about it... So about yourself... mmmh, I think you can "splurge on it". Is that of any help? (Or am I going a bit overboard?) ![]()

Don't forget that the exercise is to use Spanish, not necessarily to write something fantastically complicated. Say what you like - music? - what you don't like - what subjects (if any!) you enjoy at school, and why.

Creo que ya lo he dicho hace seis meses, pero recuerda: un ensayo para el cole no tiene que ser la verdad, la verdad entera, y nada salvo la verdad. Lo que importa es mostrar tu dominio del idioma. Si resulta más fácil hacerlo mintiendo, miente.

I wrote it....:S
Mi nombre es Jessica y tengo dieciséis años. Soy tímida y no muy hablador. Soy voluntario en una oficina en un centro de retiro. No participo en ninguna actividades extracurriculares de la escuela. En mi tiempo libre me gusta ir en mi computadora y leer muchos libros. Me gusta aprender cosas nuevas y una de mis clases favoritas es la contabilidad. No tengo un trabajo para ganar dinero pero quiero un trabajo bueno. Mi peor característica es que no me gusta hablar mucho. Mi mejor característica es que estoy tranquila. En el futuro me quiero ir a una buena universidad y conseguir un buen trabajo. |

Well done, Jessica, but I would say that is a very good characteristic, not a bad one (especially for a girl

Hola, Jessica. Muy bien hecho. Comparto la opinión de Ookami. Sus correcciones son todas pertinentes. (Yo quizá diría, "me gusta usar la computadora"... y algunos otros puntos de redacción... pero tu escrito/ensayo se lee con fluidez y es claro.)
