 PRONUNCIATION PRACTICE
My name is John

Hi! Nice to meet you! My name is John Smith. I am 19 and a student in

college. I go to college in New York. My favorite courses are Geometry,
French, and History. English is my hardest course. My professors are very
friendly and smart. It’s my second year in college now. I love it!

I live in a big house on Ivy Street. It’s near the college campus. I share the
house with three other students. Their names are Bill, Tony, and Paul. We
help each other with homework. On the weekend, we play football together.

I have a younger brother. He just started high school. He is 14 and lives with
my parents. They live on Mulberry Street in Boston. Sometimes they visit me
in New York. I am happy when they visit. My Mom always brings me sweets
and candy when they come. I really miss them, too!
