Sample:
Hello! My name is Sarah, and I am 30 years old. I work as a doctor at a local hospital, where I
help people stay healthy and recover from illnesses. I live with my family, which includes my
father, who is a retired mechanic, my mother, a homemaker, and my younger brother, who is a
teacher. In my free time, I love drawing and playing the piano. Art helps me express myself, and
music makes me feel calm after a busy day. My favorite food is pizza, especially with extra
cheese and pepperoni. I enjoy watching movies and spending time outdoors, but I dislike being
in crowded places. I believe in working hard and always being kind to others.
