MY BIOGRAPHY
I am going to tell you about myself. My name is Natasha Serova. I am 17. I was born in Samara on the 5th of March, 1994 (fifth of March nineteen ninety four).
My family is not very large. We have five people in our family. I live with my parents, my younger sister and my grandmother. My father’s name is Vladimir Ivanovich. He is forty years old. He is a mechanic and he works at a garage. My mother’s name is Vera Petrovna. She is thirty-nine years old. She is a vet and she works at a vet clinic. My younger sister Marina is a pupil. She is in the seventh form. My grandmother lives with us. She doesn’t work. She is a pensioner. I love my family. We are all friends and we love each other.
We live in a big flat in a new house. There are four rooms in our flat: a living room, a study, two bedrooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom. We have all modem conveniences: gas, hot water, running water, electricity and telephone.
I have my duties about the house. I must go shopping, clean the rooms. It’s not difficult for me. I want our home to be clean and tidy. I think there is no place better than home.
I studied at school number 129. We had many well-educated teachers at our school. I was a good pupil and I did well in all subjects. My favourite subjects at school were Mathematics, Russian and English. Now I’m a first course student of the college.
I have many friends. Most of them are my classmates. We spend much time together, go for a walk or to a disco party, talk about lessons, music, and discuss our problems.
I like reading. I like detective stories but I prefer to read historical novels or modern writers. I like to listen to modern music, but sometimes 1 like to listen to some classical music. My favourite composer is Tchaikovsky. I haven’t got much time to watch TV but sometimes I spend an hour or two watching an interesting film or a news programme. In the evening I often look through fresh newspapers or read some interesting books. I like fresh air and physical exercise, but I have not much time to go in for sports.
