My blog

Hi everyone! My name’s Joe. I’m 13 years old and I’m new at this school. I’m from Canada. My dad’s Canadian and my mum’s Scottish. I’m in Class 2B. I love basketball and listening to music. I’ve got a pet dog called Scruff.

Nice to meet you all.

Joe

Top Tips for writing

Use contractions to join two words together.

  • My name's Joe (My name is Joe)
  • I'm new (I am new)
  • My dad's Canadian (My dad is Canadian)

Use contractions in informal writing (blogs, emails and personal letters to friends).
