hi Sne - �I �m 10 � and �I �m 10 years old � seem the most natural to me. I have never heard anyone say �I �m at the age of ten �.
regards, Julian.

I �m 10 or I �m 10 years old.
If they answered I �m 10 years of age, they would sound like someone from the Victorian age!!

I �m ten or I �m ten years old.
If they answered I �m ten years of age, they would sound like " the strangers "�
