“About Myself”(1)

My name is Ann. I am 18 years old. I am a second year student of the Kostanai State University named after A.Baitursinov. I study at the Economy department. I like my study because it is very interesting. I learn many necessary subjects at my classes.

I have a mother, a father and a sister. My father is a doctor at a big hospital. My mother is a teacher at school. My younger sister is a pupil. She is in the fifth form. Our family is very united. We spend a lot of time together. My parents and sister live in Shitikara, but I live in Kostanai now because of my study.

I am tall and slender. My hair is short and fair. My eyes are big and brown. I have a straight nose and full lips.

My hobby is swimming. I go to the swimming-pool twice a week. It helps me to become healthier. If I have spare time I like to do something different. If the weather is bad I prefer to watch TV, to read books, to play computer games. In spring and summer I like to play volleyball or badminton, to go swimming and fishing. In winter I prefer to ski and to skate.

I have many friends. We study at the same University. We like to go to the cinema, to the theatre together. All of us prefer to spend our weekends out of town

About Myself (2) (for advanced students)

From the very start I should say that it is not an easy thing to speak about myself as it is hard to have a look at yourself from aside, but at the same time who knows you better than you yourself do? I am a girl of sixteen. When I look at myself in the mirror I see a blond girl with short straight hair, dark eyes and slander figure. As to my appearance I'm rather tall and slim. I have never thought I'm a beauty. I wish I were more beautiful. I think that I'm even tempered, rather reserved, calm and modest. But sometimes I can loose my tempo and become either angry or sad. I like staying alone and sometimes I retire into my shell. But at the same time I like my friends, I like to laugh and joke. I have got a sense of humour. It means I understand humour and appreciate it. There are many things in our life 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'm fond of reading as it gives not only knowledge, but wonderful moments of joy and pleasure. I am neither short nor tall, so I like to wear highheeled shoes, trousers or jeans. I was born on the 25th of April 1985 in the town of Kostanay where I live now together with my parents and my younger sister (older brother). My early years which I remember badly, were typical of a child living in a town. I was born in a family of a teacher and a doctor. I was sent to a kindergarten at the age of three as both the parents were working. As all the children of Kazakhstan I went to school at the age of seven. Here I should say that it was my lucky chance to study for 11 years at school number 1. I think it is the best school in our town. There I got a proper training in such subjects as English, Russian and Kazakh literature and world culture. I usually did a lot of home preparation for them and I liked everything I was doing in them. I really tried hard in them. But despite my efforts I was not good at Math. School for me was not only lessons and learning I had a lot of friends there. We organized extra class activities such as parties and other social activities. I actively participated in most of them. I am sociable, so I have got a lot of friends among my schoolmates. As for me I appreciate people's honesty, kindness, sense of justice and intelligence. I don't like when people are rude and aggressive. I am stubborn at times. But to my mind being persistent is not always a bad thing. I never leave things half done. At times I feel dissatisfied with myself, especially when I fail to do something or can't do things the way they should be done. At the same time I think I am hard-working and diligent. My greatest problem at school was talking in front of the class. I always blushed and went red. Then I passed my final exams at school and after a farewell party at the end of June we said good-bye to our teachers who are very well-educated people with broad outlook and deep knowledge of the subjects. They encouraged me in my desire of choosing my future career. School meant a lot to me and it wasn't just learning and studying. I had made good friends there and met many interesting people. I faced a new life without school with a mixed feeling of sadness and joy. I had asked myself a lot of times what I wanted to be when I left school. A few years ago it was difficult to give a definite answer. As the years passed I changed my mind several times. But it was only in my last year at school that I finally made up my mind what profession I would most like to have in future. I realized that my strongest desire was to continue specializing in humanities and learn foreign languages in particular. My dream came true. When I entered this University. And now a few words about my inclinations. I haven't got any special hobby, like collecting something but I'm fond of reading books. They give me more knowledge of their people's lives and feelings and broaden my outlook. In my opinion, books are a source of emotional inspiration and romantic feeling. Besides, books help me to continue my own education. The time spent on a good book is never wasted. And of course I like music! I'm fond of music of the 60-s, like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Elvis Priestly. The songs of the Beatles give me much delight and pleasure. Besides, I am a great theatre-goer. Whenever I have some time to spare, I go to the theatre. I'm not keen on television. Sometimes I play different sport games for health and pleasure. I usually play such games as volley-ball, basketball, tennis, and sometimes football. And the last thing I would like to tell you about things I hope to achieve in my life are: to have a very successful career, to build the home of my dreams and to find someone in my life to share all that with.
