MATT
Hello! My name is Matt. I am in seventh grade. I am 12 years old. My birthday is coming up, it is November 4th. I go to school in Chicago. I live at home with my mother, father, and little sister. We also have a pet dog named Spot. I enjoy going to school, but it is pretty far away. I wake up very early every day to make sure I have time to shower and eat breakfast. Then, I walk down the street to catch the bus. After the bus I have to take a train. My neighborhood is far away from my school. Chicago is a very big city. Sometimes I feel scared when I have to take public transportation by myself, but overall I don’t think Chicago is a dangerous city. I have a few hobbies. In Chicago, I play ice-hockey in the winter and baseball in the summer. This is because winter in Chicago is very cold but the summer is very hot. My favorite thing to eat is Chicago-style deep-dish pizza. I always put green peppers, onions and sausage in my deep-dish pizza. But my little sister doesn’t like sausage, so sometimes we get pepperoni. Chicago isn’t near a sea, but it is on the coast of a very big lake. Lake Michigan is so big you cannot see the other side! In the summer we go swimming in the lake.
