About Myself

I’ll be glad to introduce myself to you. My name is Oleg Belov. I’m 25 years old. I was born on the 15 of February 1985, in the village of Bakino, Slutsk district, Minsk region, I’m Belarusian. I am single. I have blond hair, dark eyes, slender athletic build and I am tall. I work for a large business company in Minsk. I work hard and that’s why it takes me much time to fulfil my duties. I am a first year part-time student of the Russian State Social University, Law Department (Department of Social Work, Department of Social Psychology)

When I’m not busy with my work and studies I like to spend time and relax with my friends. I enjoy gardening, volleyball, cooking, keeping in good physical shape, reading, listening to music. I can add that I’m fond of sport.

The things I hope to achieve in life are to have a successful career, a healthy life, to build the home of my dreams and to become a well-rounded person. I’ll try never stop growing spiritually and learning about the world. Most of all I hope to find someone in life to share all this with.

My Family

My family is not large. There are four of us: my mother, father and elder sister. I’m the youngest in our family. My father is a businessman. It takes him much time to fulfil his duties, that’s why he usually comes home late. My mother is a doctor. She works at a hospital. She is a very busy woman. That’s why my sister and I try to help her about the house. My sister is a nurse. She works at a kindergarten. She likes her work very much. Our family is very friendly.

My mother is about fifty. She looks young for her age. I like her brown eyes, her soft voice and the way she smiles. My mother is patient and warm-hearted.

I admire my father for his character. He’s always quiet and there is strength under his quietness. He has a bright witty mind.

I’m happy that I can share all my troubles and concerns with my parents. They understand and comfort me. My parents give me a good example to follow.

In the evenings we get together and have a good time. We sit and talk or watch TV or listen to music, or read. Sometimes we go to the cinema or theatre. We have a lot of relatives: aunts, uncles, and cousins. They live in different towns and villages. We often go to see them.

My Working Day

My working day begins early. I get up at seven o`clock, air the room, make my bed, do morning exercises. Then I go to the bathroom where I wash myself, brush my teeth. At eight o’clock I have breakfast. It may be a cup of tea or coffee and a sandwich or a roll. .At a quarter past eight I leave home. I go to my work by bus or by tram. It takes me twenty minutes to get there. I come to my work a few minutes to nine. I take off my coat and hat, leave them in the cloakroom and go upstairs to my office. As a rule I have dinner at home but sometimes I go to the nearest cafe. If I have some spare time I look through the latest newspapers and magazines or read an interesting book. The break is over and I have to continue my work. At six o’clock I go home or meet my friends. At eight o’clock in the evening I have supper. Then I watch TV or listen to music. I like Saturday evenings when I can go for a walk with my friends or to the party or to the cinema or theatre. I needn’t get up early next day. Usually I go to bed at eleven o’clock.

My Flat.

I live in a nine-storied block in Masherov Avenue. We have a self-contained three room flat with a large balcony. Our flat faces south. The layout of the rooms is very convenient. Two rooms look on to the green yard and the third room and the kitchen face the street. The sitting room is quite a big room. There is a thick carpet on the floor. Some good water-colours are on the walls. There is a divan-bed, two comfortable armchairs, a TV set and a long bookcase filled with books by Russian and English writers and poets. Here we get together in the evenings, watch TV, listen to music or even sing ourselves, play chess or simply talk.

The bedroom is smaller that the sitting room. There are two beds, two bedside tables, a wardrobe and a dressing table. The wall lamps are on the wall over the beds. There is an alarm-clock on one of the bedside tables.

We have all modern conveniences in our flat. There is gas, electricity, running hot and cold water and central heating.

Our kitchen is rather small but clean and bright. Here we have a small table, a gas-cooker, a refrigerator, four stools and a sideboard where we keep plates, cups, saucers, glasses, knives, spoons, forks and other things. We like our flat. It is not large but very cosy.
