ABOUT MYSELF

Let me introduce myself. My name is Ann or Anya for my friends. My surname or last name is Sokolova and Petrovna is my patronymic. I was born on the second of October 1988 in Stavropol.

Now I am a first-year student at the Technical University. In five years I’ll be an engineer.

Let me describe my appearance. I am tall and slim and have fair hair and blue eyes. My friends say that I am pretty. I think that I am just good-looking. I love sports and music. I like to listen to modern music and dance. I dance a lot and I hope I am good at it. I also like swimming. I always swim in the Black sea when I visit my grandparents.

I would like to tell you about my family. We are five in the family. My father’s name is Peter Stepanovich. He is a mathematician by education and businessman by profession. My mother’s name is Tatyana Vladimirovna. She is a housewife. She has much work about the house because I have a younger sister. She is a pupil. My sister Olga is in the third form. My grandmother, my mother’s mother, lives with us. She is very kind and helps us a lot.

In May I have finished school. I did well in all the subjects but my favourite subjects at school were Physics and Computer Science. I also enjoyed English lessons. I am very interested in learning English because I always wanted to become a programmer or maybe a businesswoman. I also think that the knowledge of foreign languages helps in everyday life and career.
