1. Start by saying what your native language is and what other languages you know. 

2. State the order in which you learned these languages and how well you know each of them. 

3. Describe when and where you started learning your identity language, express your feelings about learning it at each stage and provide details of what helped you in your learning, what difficulties and problems you faced and the efforts you made to improve your command over the language. 

4. Explain what influence other people (for example, your parents, teachers, siblings or friends) had on the development of your identity language and on your confidence in using it. 

Finally, end with some reasons that have made you decide to keep learning this language.
