Alex

✨ "Regular guy, huge dreams"

📌 About me

By day I'm a regular guy and by night a superhero … How tiring is that?! Just joking! I'm a regular guy all the time – good job, close to my family, just bought my own flat with a cat. Actually, my cat thinks I'm a hero because I saved her from the street. I'm a talkative person and I believe communication is the most important thing in a relationship.

❤️ Likes and dislikes

I love pizza if it's Italian, wine if it's white, and football if it's the World Cup. I read a lot, especially true life stories, but most of my books live on my phone.

🎯 Hobbies

I love to travel and I'm always planning my next trip. I prefer an active holiday like hiking, skiing or watersports and I get bored lying on the beach. I post lots of photos on Instagram as I'm a good photographer but I'd really love to share the holiday with someone. Maybe you'll take the photos on the next trip. 😉

💡 Tips for writing a profile

  • 1. Write about your good points, not your bad points.
  • 2. Don't include every single thing. Choose a few points and focus on them.
  • 3. Don't add your contact details (e.g. address, phone number). You could get unwanted messages.
  • 4. Check your spelling and punctuation before you post.
  • 5. You can use punctuation and emojis when you're joking, e.g. ?! and 😉.
    • 📚

    Step 3: Key vocabulary

    🗣️ talkative A person who likes to talk a lot
    🏠 flat Another word for apartment (UK English)
    🎒 active holiday A vacation where you do sports or outdoor activities
    😴 get bored To feel tired or unhappy because something is not interesting
    📸 photographer A person who takes photos
    😉 wink An emoji or expression that shows you are joking
    📝

    Step 4: Do you understand the profile?

    1. Is Alex really a superhero?
    2. What pet does Alex have?
    3. What kind of pizza does Alex like?
    4. Does Alex prefer beach holidays or active holidays?
    5. Why shouldn't you add your phone number to a public profile?
    📖

    Step 5: Grammar – Present Simple in profiles

    🔍 Look at these sentences from the profile:

    • "I'm a regular guy." (I am)
    • "I love pizza."
    • "I read a lot."
    • "My cat thinks I'm a hero." (he/she/it + -s)

    📌 Rule: Use Present Simple to talk about facts, habits, and things that are always true.

    I / You / We / They → base verb (love, read, work)
    He / She / It → verb + -s (loves, reads, works)

    💡

    Step 6: Understanding the writing tips

    Match the tip to the correct reason:
    1. Write about your good points, not bad points. →
    2. Don't add your phone number or address. →
    3. Check your spelling and punctuation before you post. →
    ✍️

    Step 7: Write your own profile

    Use the example profile and the tips to write about yourself. Answer these questions:

    • What is your name?
    • Where are you from?
    • What do you do (job/student)?
    • What are your hobbies?
    • What do you like and dislike?
    • What is something interesting about you?
    ✅

    Step 8: Profile checklist
