We begin with paragraph two and three.

Writing Paragraph Two

For paragraph two, Personality Characteristics, write a paragraph using the same format demonstrated below: 

There are three personality traits that make me exceptional including rowdy, humorous, and resourceful. I play a lot of team sports and I really enjoy the violent ones. I get more excited and interested in a sport, if there is a chance that I might be personally injured. I love the risk of extreme sports. Luckily, I usually have a good sense of humour about getting hurt. Last summer I was supposed to be an usher at my brother’s wedding but two days before the ceremony, I broke my leg playing lacrosse. So I showed up anyway, in a wheelchair and made fun of how my cast didn’t match my tuxedo top. I can usually be pretty resourceful in a difficult situation. This was again true at the same wedding, where in order to dance, I just had my dancing partner steer me around the dance floor in any crazy way. I was pretty popular that night. Overall, you can see how these three characteristics make me unique in my daily life and interests.

Using these three characteristics, write a paragraph which also answers the following questions:

You have many personality traits that make you the special person you are. Identify three of these characteristics and describe them. Give specific examples to illustrate what you mean.

Hints:

Write your paragraph using three of the characteristics from your chart. You should choose the three characteristics which:

• Are most different from each other
• Are easiest to prove with evidence from your life experience

For paragraph three, Personal Interests, write a paragraph using the same format demonstrated above.

Write a paragraph which answers the following questions:

Describe your main interests, the various things you really enjoy doing. Use a number of examples to illustrate exactly what activities, situations and people interest you.

Hints:

Write your paragraph using three or four personal interests or hobbies.

Again, choose interests that:

• Are most different from each other
• Are easiest to prove with evidence from your life experience
