ABOUT MYSELF

My name is Ann. My surname or last name is Petrova. I was born on the 2^nd of October in Volgograd. This is the most beautiful city in Russia situated on the Volga River. Now I am a first-year student at the Agricultural Academy. In five years I'll be a vet.

I am tall and slim and have fair hair and blue eyes. My friends say that I am pretty. I think I am just good-looking. I love sports and music. I was very serious about a career in gymnas­tics when I was in the 5^th form. But then I broke my arm and doctors didn't let me go in for gymnastics. I love to listen to modern music and dance. I dance a lot and I hope I am good at it. I also love swimming. I always swim in the Volga when I have free time.

I would like to tell you about my family. There are five people in our family. My father's name is Vladimir Stepanovich. He is a mathematician by education and businessman by profession. My mother's name is Tatyana Petrovna. She is a housewife. She has much work about the house because I have a younger sister. She is a pupil. My sister Natasha is in the fifth form. My grandmother, my mother's mother, lives with us. She is very kind and helps us a lot.

Our family is very friendly, we have many friends. In summer many relatives come to visit us.

In May I have finished school No 1 in Volgograd. 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.

Two years ago I travelled much around Europe. I have visited France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. There the knowledge of English helped me a lot.

As you see, my biography isn't very long yet. But I think I have a very interesting and good life.
