My name is *(name)* and I'm *(number)* years old. I was born in *(country)* and I live near *(town)*. I study *(subject)* and *(subject)* at *(city)* University, although I don't like studying. In my spare time I enjoy cycling and computer games. I speak English and Japanese, although my Spanish is poor. My girlfriend is called *(name)*, we have been together for *(number)* years. I have one sister called *(name)*, but no brothers. My mother is called *(name)* and my father is called *(name)*. On Sunday my parents returned from holiday in Cyprus. My favourite snacks include pizza, chocolate and salty potato chips. In the future I'd like to travel and improve my Spanish.

Mi novia se llama [girlfriend name], estamos juntos desde hace [number] aņos. Tengo una hermana que se llama [sister name], pero no tengo hermanos. Mi madre se llama [mother's name] y mi padre se llama [father's name]
El domingo pasado mis padres vovlieron de sus vacaciones en Cyprus. Mis snacks[*] favoritos incluyen la pizza, el chocolate y las papas fritas.
En el futuro me gustaria viajar y mejorar mi Espaņol.

*= there's no translation for 'snack' we use it like that, but maybe your teacher is not familiar with slang or modern terms so you can replace that paragraph with:
"Mis comidas favoritas incluyen la pizza, el chocolate y las papas fritas."

*2= Your study subjects can and probably should be translated too, privacy freak
