Task 9. A) Study the information on how to write an autobiography.
Employers can ask you to write your autobiography, which is a written account of the series of events that make up your life. A short autobiography gives the basic facts, i.e. date and place of birth, family information, lifetime accomplishments, major events of life. A longer autobiography includes that basic information, of course, with a lot more detail, but it also tells a good story. It this case, consider such questions as:
- Was there anything in your childhood that shaped your personality?
- Was there a personality trait that drove you to succeed or impeded your progress?
- What adjectives would you use to describe yourself?
- What were some turning points in your life? etc.
B) Use the following tips and write your short autobiography.
Ø Include introduction and basic personal information in the first paragraph.
Ø Use 1st person pronouns (I, me, my, myself).
Ø Write in the past tense.
Ø Put paragraphs in chronological order, one subject per paragraph.
Ø Link your paragraphs with temporal connectives, e.g. “next”, “after that”, “later”, etc.
Ø Give a summary in the last paragraph and bring the reader up to date.
Ø Proofread and check for errors.
