Let me introduce myself
Hello, friends. Let me introduce myself. You know how difficult it is to tell much in a very short time. But I`ll try hard so you`ll have some idea who I am.
My name is Katya. My surname or last name is Ivashenko. I was born on the 13th of October in Sochi. This is the nicest city in Russian Federation situated on the Black Sea coast. Now I am a first-year student at the Faculty of Psychology of the Rostov State University.
Now let me describe my appearance. I am tall and slim and have fair hair and blue eyes. My friends say that I am pretty. I love reading, theatre and classical music. My favorite composer is Tchaikovsky. I don`t like ballet too much. But I like theatre and I am a theatre-goer. I spend much if not all of my money an theatres and books.
I would like to tell you about my family. There are five people in our family. My father`s name is Leonid Borisovich. He is a professor of biology. My mother`s name is Natalya Yakovlevna. She works in a research institute and she is historian. My parents are very educated people but simple and easy to be with. We are great friends with my parents and I can discuss everything with them.
My younger sister is still a pupil. Her name is Tanya and she is in the 7th form. But she is so tall that you can think that she is a school graduate. She is very strong too. That is because she plays basketball. She doesn`t like to study much and we argue sometimes about it. But we are good friends with my sister.
My grandmother, my mother`s mother, lives with us. She is very kind and helps us a lot.
We also have a dog – poodle Van`ka and a cat Musya. They fight sometimes, but usually they are friends and miss each other.
Our family is very friendly, we have many friends and relatives.
In May I have finished school № 5. I did well in all the subjects but my favorite subjects at school were Biology and English. I also enjoyed lessons of Mathematics. Quite unusual for a girl, don’t` you think? My father always wanted me to be a biologist, like him. But I wanted to work with people, not with animals. I want to understand myself better too. Also, I think that psychology is a fast developing science and I will always have an interesting job.
As you see, my biography isn`t very long yet. But we`ll meet again and I`ll tell you more about myself. See you later…
