Hello, here I am. My name is Tanya. I am going to tell you about myself. You know, it’s not very easy to speak about myself because I don’t see myself from the side. But still I can tell you a little bit about my character and my interests.So, I am 14 years old. I am not very tall but rather slim with straight brown hair, oval face and green eyes. I don’t find myself very beautiful, but people say I am pretty. I like wearing casual clothes, jeans usually and a T-shirt, but sometimes I put on dresses or skirts. I don’t like shoes with high heels. I prefer sneakers. But to school I wear a uniform.As for my character, I think, I am a calm, well-tempered person and rather modest. I am not sure but my friends say that I have good sense of humour. Actually, I love telling jokes and making my friends smile. I am quite sociable and talkative and I like being around people. I have a lot of friends and acquaintances. But sometimes I have those swings of mood when I feel sad and want to stay alone for some time. I think that’s quite OK because everybody has such moments. I like everything positive and when I have some problems I always try to find positive moments in them. I like to help people around and see how they become happy. I like kind, honest, polite, reliable and responsible people. And I hate when people are rude and aggressive. Aggression is bad.Well, now about my interests and hobbies. There are many, but I don’t have time to do everything, so I have to choose. Now I am doing sports a lot, go to the gym and run at the stadium. Sometimes I play different sport games for health and pleasure. I usually play such games as volley-ball, basketball, tennis, and sometimes football.I am also playing the guitar and singing in our school band. I like taking part in school performances. My mom, says I have talent. She may be right, we’ll see. I love flowers. At home we have so many of them. We take care of the flowers together with my mom. I love drawing and painting and when I have time I do it with great pleasure. I like reading very much. Books, magazines, almost everything what I find interesting. I like watching films in English and listening to songs in English and translating them. The Internet helps a lot. I don’t play computer games. They are boring. It’s much better to meet with my friends and spend time together. And of course I like music! I like different styles. Besides, I am a theatre-goer. Television is like a box of trash nowadays.I was born on the 14th of April in 1996 in Sochi where I live now together with my parents and my younger brother. My mom is an accountant and my father is an engineer. I am proud of my parents. They are very kind, friendly, polite and very understanding. We have conflicts very seldom because they always try to listen to us.We have a pet. It’s a dog. Its name is Chak. It’s a Labrador. He is so funny. I love him. Spending time with my dog gives me energy.I went to school at the age of 6. Our school is very nice. We come here not only to study but to see our friends, to enjoy time together. I have friends among my classmates. And all other classmates are just being very friendly too. At school we have many extracurricular activities like a school band and a school theatre course and out school sport team.As for my plans for the future, I have not decided what profession to choose but I think that it will be something creative like a designer or something like that. I am not sure yet. And, of course, after I graduate from school I am going to enter the university.
