A sample version:

Hello,

My name is Nancy; I am a middle school student. I am in grade one, class 14. I like music very much. In my life, music is so important that I cannot live without it, even one day. Every morning, as soon as I open my eyes, I turn on the recorder, and then go to wash face while listening. Then I go to school and listen to my Walkman on my way. Of course, in classes I cannot listen to music. But during the breaks, listening to music is my way to relax, and all my classmates like it very much, so we share the music. I am proud of myself a bit.
