Writing an auto biography

An autobiography is a written account of a person’s life that is written by that person himself or herself. It is the story describing the life of a person that is told by the individual himself or herself. Let us see how we can write our own life’s story or auto biography

Good morning, class! Today, we are going to learn about writing an autobiography and how to describe ourselves, our habits, manners, and moral values.

An autobiography is a story that you write about your own life. It is a way to share your experiences, achievements, and the lessons you have learned. It’s a great opportunity to express yourself and let others know who you are as a person.

When writing an autobiography, it is important to start with an introduction where you introduce yourself to the readers. You can include your full name, age, where you were born, and any interesting facts about yourself. For example:

“My name is John Smith. I am twelve years old and was born in Lagos, Nigeria. I have always been passionate about music and enjoy playing the piano.”

After the introduction, you can move on to describing your habits. Habits are the things we do regularly. You can write about your daily routines, hobbies, or any special talents you have. Here’s an example:

“I have a habit of waking up early in the morning and going for a run. I also enjoy reading books and painting in my free time. One of my special talents is playing basketball, and I have won several awards in school competitions.”

Next, let’s talk about manners. Manners are the way we behave and treat others. It’s important to be respectful, kind, and considerate towards others. You can mention how you show good manners in different situations. Here’s an example:

“I believe in treating others with respect and kindness. I always say ‘please’ and ‘thank you,’ and I try to help my classmates whenever they need assistance. I also make sure to listen attentively when someone is speaking and wait for my turn to speak.”

Lastly, let’s discuss moral values. Moral values are principles that guide our behavior and decision-making. They include honesty, integrity, compassion, and fairness. You can share examples of how you demonstrate these values in your daily life. For instance:

“Honesty is one of my top moral values. I believe in always telling the truth, even if it’s difficult. For example, if I accidentally break something, I take responsibility and admit my mistake to my parents or teacher. I also try to help those in need and participate in charity events to show compassion and fairness.”

Remember, an autobiography is a personal story, so feel free to express your thoughts and feelings. Use descriptive language, provide specific examples, and organize your writing into paragraphs to make it easy to read and understand.

Now, I want you to take some time to think about your own autobiography. Consider your habits, manners, and moral values, and start drafting your introduction. In our next class, we will continue with the next sections of your autobiography.

Keep in mind that an autobiography is a journey of self-discovery, so enjoy the process of writing and reflecting on your life experiences. I’m looking forward to reading your amazing autobiographies in our next class. Have a great day!

EXERCISE
Write the story of your life by answering these questions. Note that compositions or essays do not always have numbers. You can use paragraphs instead of Numbers.

First paragraph
1.What is your full name?

2.When and where were you born and to which parents?

3.Who are your parents and your immediate family members?

Second paragraph

4.What can you remember about your childhood days?

5.What can you say about the school(s) you have attended?

6.What are the interesting things you have enjoyed doing, especially with your friends at home and at school?

Third Paragraph

7.What very bad thing can you remember that has happened to you?

8.Do you like sports? Are you funny? What else can you say about yourself?

9.What do you think about life generally?
What have you learned about life?

Don’t forget to give your autobiography a title, such as e.g. the story of my life.
