SPEECH ROOKIES 1-4


HELLO, ______GOOD MORNING_______ _GOOD AFTERNOON_____

Introduction:

My name is Sam, I am 25 years old, my birthday is on August 21st. I’m from Ecuador and I am
talkative and friendly. I’m a student, I am going to central university, I study mechanic engineering,
I also study at new English world. I live in Quito with my family, my mother’s name is Emma, she’s
58-year-old and she is a doctor, my father’s name is Jacob, he’s 60 years old, and he is an
electrician, I have two siblings Sara and Clark, Sara is studying laws at university and Clark studies
3rd grade in a high school.

We live in a small apartment, it has three bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, two bathrooms and
dining room. In our living room, there is a tv, a coffee table and a clock, there are also two sofas,
curtains and pictures, but there aren’t any mirrors and there’s no rug.

When I was a child I used to play marbles with my cousins and I also used to play hide and seek
on weekends. My family and I used to visit my grandparents twice a month. Some kids love to fly
kites but I didn’t use to do it because I didn’t like it.

Routine:

From Monday to Friday, I get up at 6 in the morning, I brush my teeth and take a shower, then I
eat my breakfast, for breakfast, I usually eat bred, scrambled eggs, drink orange juice and
sometimes I have cereal or yogurt. After that I go to university, I study from 8 am until 4 pm, in
the afternoon, I have lunch at noon, for lunch sometimes I eat rice, pasta, fritadas, drink soup and
vegetables. After university I go back home and take a shower, I have some snacks, and the I go
to New English world to take my english classes. When I finish my classes I go home, I get some
rest, then I watch tv until 7, I help my mother to make dinner, for dinner we usually have bread,
drink milk, sometimes eat fruit, and we hardly ever eat arepas. After dinner, sometimes we watch
a movie or play video game on the computer, I go to bed around ten or eleven.

Vacation: I have visited many places, I have been to Manta, I have been to Otabalao, but I haven’t
been to Cuenca or Rio Bamba. On My last vacation, I went to Guayaquil with my family, we spent
5 days, and we visited many places, such as: restaurant, museums, and beaches. I ate sea food,
and I tried Japanese food, we also went to the movies. The last night we planned to ride on
Moscovita Rueda, but when we were going to that place our car stopped and my father didn’t
know how to fix the car, we spent two hours waiting for a crane, we had to return to the hotel,
and the next day we went back home. It was a great vacation, if we go to Guayaquil again, we will
ride on Moscovita Rueda.

Future plans:
At Christmas we are going to go to manta to visit my grandparents, maybe we will spend a week.
and if we have time we will visit some friends. We are going to go to the beach because I like it,
and on Christmas days we are going to have a special dinner, we will invite some family and
friends. If we had more time, we could stay two weeks, but we can’t, my parents have to work,
and I must finish all my school homework.

Thanks a lot for your attention, this is all my speech!
