LANGUAGE

My family speaks English. It is the only language that we know. English was first spoken in England and is now the most widely used language in the world. Over 400 million people use the English vocabulary as a first language and 700 million people speak English as a foreign language. I would like to learn how to speak Spanish one day.

RELIGION

My family members are Christians. Christianity is a religion that believes thereis only one God. Christianity is based on the life and teachings of Jesus. This is a picture of me on the day I was baptized. I was baptized on Sunday, August 5, 2012. We also have church on Wednesday nights from 6:30 to 8:00.

These are some of the foods I like to eat. These are traditional American foods.Sometimes I like to go out to eat steak and burgers. When we are at the lakewe grill steak, burgers, and hot dogs. Sometimes my mom fries eggs for breakfast.

We live in a Democratic form of government. According to our textbook, a democracy is a form of limited government. The people govern themselves by voting on issues. We have a presidential election November 6, 2012 between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama.
