Lesson 11: Filling in Simple Forms with Personal Details

You have learned how to write your name and address correctly. Today, we will use these skills to practice filling in a simple form¹. You might see forms like this when you register for a class, apply for a library card, or visit a doctor.

The most important rule is to read carefully and write your information in the correct space.

Understanding Form Vocabulary

Forms use special words to ask for your personal details². Let's learn some common ones:

• First Name: Your given name (e.g., Sokha).
• Last Name / Family Name: Your family name (e.g., Vong).
• Age: How many years old you are (e.g., 25).
• Date of Birth (D.O.B.): The day you were born. A good way to write this is Day-Month-Year (e.g., 13-June-1999).
• Gender: Usually Male or Female.
• Signature: Your name written in your own special way.
