Dua Teks Memperkenalkan Diri dalam Bahasa Inggris

Teks Pertama

Good morning everyone. Let me introduce myself in a short time. I am Muhammad Andika and you can call me Dika. I was born in Jakarta, June 21st 1995. It means that I’m seventeen years old right now. I moved from Jakarta to this great city because my father has some jobs that must be done. Here, I live at Jl. Untung Suropati, Jasaraya. My house actually is not far from this school and you are only to ride for about 100 m to the east.

I have a nice hobby and that is writing and blogging. I get money from internet especially through blogging. I have a nice blog that provide information of Technology, newest gadget, and many more. You can visit the Techjourney.Com to see my articles.

In my house, I live with my parents named Mr. and Mrs. Wibawa. Both of them work as entrepreneur. My father manages his futsal shoes business while my mother is managing her Batik dress business. I love them very much and I’m actually five brothers. I have two elder sisters and two younger brothers. My first sister is 22 years old named Andina Rizki and now she has been a student of Indonesian University especially for English Literature.  Next to my second sister who has been 20 years old named Andien Aulia and she is studying at Gajah Mada University especially for Psychology. I think, I will not tell more about my brothers because it consumes time too much.

That’s all and I would say thank to your attention. Good morning everyone, nice to see you.

Teks Kedua

Good morning my dear friends. Allow me to introduce myself for a couple of minutes. My complete name is Indra Herwawan and my nickname is Hendra. So you can call me by Hendra not Hermawan. I was born in Bandung, June 21st 1994. It was a long time and about eighteen years ago right?

I’m a very new person here because I just moved from Bandung to this capital city two days ago. When the first time live in Jakarta, I feel very hot but it has been a normal condition for me right now. In Bandung, I had a unique hobby that was speedcubing. It was a brain to play the Rubik’s cube faster and faster.

I also spend my time to play football and listening to the music when I get bored at home. But, when I live in Jakarta, I even have no idea to play football with my friends. Because, here I am a stranger and haven’t got friend yet. I live in Jl Kepulauan raya, West Jakarta. It’s approximately five kilometers from this school and I come here by bus.

In my house, I live with my parents and my twin sisters called Andin and Andina. My parents are Mr. Darmawan Sahreza and Mrs. Maia Sahreza. My father works as an engineer in one of the big company in Jakarta, while my mother works as an accountant in insurance company. My younger sisters are 5th grade of elementary school and both of them are ten years old.

That’s the end of my introduction and nice to meet you my friends..
