Hello everyone! My name is Georgia. I am in Grade 8.
What makes me unique Let's see. My family comes from Greece. I was born there. Nobody else in my school comes from Greece! That makes me unique.
新课讲解
I've been in Canada for seven and a half years. My grandparents，aunts，uncles and cousins still live in Greece. My sister is a basketball player in Canada. But she sometimes returns to Greece to play for the Greek National Basketball Team.
Playing basketball is my main talent，too. When I was in Grade 6，I played for the junior high basketball team. I was the youngest player. We did very well last year. We lost only two games.
Once，we played against a team from another city. The game was almost over，and the score was fifty one to fifty one.
