1 Hello!!!

We are The
Simpsons. We think you know
us. But, just in case, we will
introduce ourselves.

Homer's wife and Bart, Lisa
and Maggy's mother. My
hobbies include compulsive
cleaning, baking, shopping
and providing advice to my
neighbours.
2 I'm Homer Simpson.
I'm Marge's husband and
Bart, Lisa and Maggy's
father. I work at
Springfield's Nuclear Power
Plant as a Safety Inspector
for Sector 7G. At work, I
spend most of the time
sleeping or hanging around
the vending machines.
4 I am Bart. I am the eldest
child of Homer and Marge. I go to
Springfield Elementary school. I
am in the fourth grade but I
spend most of the time
at Principal Skinner's office.
5 I am Lisa. I am in the second grade at Springfield
elementary school . I don't like meat because I am a
vegetarian. I like playing my saxophone and going to school.
