Hi,
everybody. I
write
(I'm
writing)
this note to introduce myself to you, my classmates in English 047.
Our teacher is wanting a profile from each of us. At first I was confused by this assignment because my English dictionary is defining profile as "a side view of someone's head." I thought, "Why does she wants that? She sees my head every day!" Then I saw the next definition: "a short description of a person's life and character." OK, then. Here is my profile:
My name is Peter Holzer. Some of my friends are calling me Pay-Ha because that is how my initials sounding in German. I am study English here in Miami because I want to attend graduate school in Colorado or Montreal. Maybe are you asking yourself, "Why he wants to leave Miami to go to these places?" The answer is: snow! I am coming from Austria, so I love to ski. In fact, my nickname in my family is Blitz (lightning) because always I am trying to improve my speed.
