ABOUT MYSELF
Let me introduce myself. My first name is …. My surname is …. I was born in Gomel (Rechitsa, Svetlogorsk) on the 2nd of May, 1991.
Now I’m a first-year student of Francisk Skorina Gomel State University. I study at the faculty of physical culture. My sport (kind of sport) is …. I have been doing it for 10 years. I train 6 times a week in the stadium or in the gym. I participated in district (city, zone, republic) competitions, European and World Tournaments (championships) and some other events. Sometimes I won the titles (I have never won the titles).
As to my appearance, I’m rather tall and slim. I have blue eyes, short black hair and a small nose. I think that I’m even-tempered, rather reserved, calm and modest. But sometimes I can lose my temper and become either angry or sad. I like staying alone and sometimes I retire int
my shell. But at the same time I like my friends, I like to laugh and to joke. I have got a sense of humour. It means I understand humour and appreciate it. But unfortunately, I’m not often witty myself. I think I am able to “keep my head when all about me are losing theirs” and to stand up to difficulties when things are not going my way. Besides, I am sincere and tolerant, friendly and faithful, hard-working and serious.
There are many things in our life which I like and some I dislike. I like when everything is OK. Being happy is one way of being wise. I like to study because knowledge is useful sometimes. I am fond of reading as it gives not only knowledge but also wonderful moments of joy and pleasure. Sometimes I enjoy watching TV and listening to the radio. Especially when I can hear some wonderful pieces of music. I like music. It makes people better. It awakens the best feelings and high emotions. But there is a thing that makes me crazy. I’m fond of sports. I dislike overcrowded buses. And I hate getting up early. I’m happy I have got more things I like than I dislike.
