Hola, me llamo Isidora, y soy de Viña del Mar, Chile. Mi escuela se llama Colegio Sagrados Corazones Monjas Francesas. Mi clase favorita es ciencias sociales. En mi mochila tengo cuadernos, lápices, papel y mi estuche. También llevo mi botella de agua porque hace calor en el verano. Yo necesito mi tablet y un libro de texto para la clase de historia. Mi profesora de historia es aburrida, pero quiero sacar una buena nota. No me gusta la clase de ciencias porque es difícil. La clase que más me gusta es matemáticas. En mi tiempo libre, juego fútbol, toco el piano, o me siento con mis amigas a tomar un mate en la playa.
