There's not many dialogues regarding to the theme, so I wrote some, with a little exercise down below. I hope hints in the exercise don't offend you if that's your country, I try to make them interesting. You're of course free to change it per your reference. And as always, I hope this is helpful.

Use this activitiy to exercise your student's writing skills. It focuses on expressing where one is from and what their personality and general appearance is like, from a very contextualize writing proposal. 



Students may struggle a little to read the textual proposal out, since it has words that they don't know. Teachers might pre-teach the vocabulary or read the text with the students, exploring the meanings of the words and other stuff they notice students need to be introduced to. 



With this activity, students will be able to

- express personal origins;

- exercise forms of the verb to be; 

- exercise uses of possessive adjectives; 

- exercise uses of the vocabulary about countries and nationalities;

- exercise uses of adjectives about personality and appearance;

- exercise creativity.
