About myself

Hello, friends. Let me introduce myself. My name is Tanya Bobrova. I am 17. I was born on the 2^nd of October, 1990, in Novosibirsk.

Now some words about my family. My family is not very large. There are five people in my family. I live with my parents, my younger sister and my grandmother. My father’s name is Vladimir Ivanovich. He is 40 and he is a doctor. He works at the hospital. My mother’s name is Olga Petrovna. She is 35 years old. She is a housewife. My younger sister Natasha is a pupil. She is in the fifth form. My grandmother lives with us. She doesn’t work. She is a pensioner.

Our family is friendly and we have many friends. We live in a big flat. There are 5 rooms in our flat: a living room, a study, 3 bedrooms. There is also a bathroom and a kitchen there.

Last year I finished school № 5. I did well in all the subjects, but my favourite subjects at school were Physics and Mathematics. I also enjoyed English lessons. Now I am a first-year student at NSTU. In five years I’ll be an engineer.

I like reading detective stories, listening to music, watching TV. Also I like meeting with my friends. We spend much time together. We go for a walk or to a disco party and discuss our problems.
