Introduction
Hi my name is Daniel Dalipe. I am 16 years
old. I like to do physical activities. My favorite hobbies are martial arts,
hanging out with friends, videogames, and guitar. I like martial arts because
it teaches you self defense. I do kung fu and judo. In kung fu I learn how to
punch, kick and block. I only did kung fu for three months because I was at my dad’s
house in Los Angeles for the summer. I didn’t stay long enough for me to move
on to the next ranks. I did kung fu at Z
Ultimate. If I stayed long enough I could have been a 4th rank right
now. Maybe next summer I’ll go to LA and visit my old kung fu class. This year
I’m doing judo. In judo you learn how to throw and take a fall. I started judo
at the beginning of the school year. I did judo because I want to learn how to
defend myself more. It also helps build muscle. I like to play guitar. I’ve been
playing guitar since 8th grade. I did it because I like music. I like
hang out with friends.
I like to do sports. My favorite
sports are badminton, basketball and tennis. I learned how to play badminton
about 4 months ago. I am planning to try out for the team this year. Badminton is a fun sport. I go to EBA (Eastbay
Badminton Association) every week to practice for the team. Hopefully I could
make team captain by senior year. My other favorite sport is tennis. I’ve been
playing tennis for the past 4 summers. I learn how to play tennis from my dad. Tennis
is almost like badminton except that you hit a tennis ball instead of a birdie
and the racquets are a bit heavier. Another sport I like to play is basketball.
I have been playing basketball since I was 10. I play basketball anytime my friends
want to play.
There are a few adventures I want
to have. One of my adventures is to go to Korea to meet Kpop singers. My other
adventure is to go to Japan to see anime creators. I want to go to a famine convention.
Another adventure I want is to go visit my girlfriend at her school. I want to
go see the Grand Canyon. I want to see the great wall of China.
My writing goals for the year are
to improve my writing. I need to write a lot in a certain amount of time.
Anytime I do an essay I need to start ahead of time. I should always make sure
my essays make sense. I need to add more detail to what I’m writing about.
It is great to learn some more about you. In fact, we happen to have some stuff in common. I used to do Judo too...a long time ago. And it was FUNNNNN. Plus I've been a guitarist for quite a long time now. So it was fun to learn this about you. Also, let me recommend that you keep that Grand Canyon trip at the top of your list; I went there once and came away thinking that everybody in the world should get the chance to see it at least once in their lives.
ReplyDeleteThe one comment about the writing here that I'd like to say is that some of your paragraphs are well organized around a single topic, but a few seem to jump around several topics at once. Take a look and see if there aren't other ways you could break this up to make your paragraphs make a bit more sense.
Nice to have you in class, Daniel!
Judo is awesome. I took it my sophomore year with Sensei Quinonez. I wasn't any good, but it was one of my favorite classes.
