LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF

Hello, friends. Let me first introduce myself. My name is Vera. My surname or last name is Voronina. I was born on the 13th of October in Moscow. This is the most beautiful city in Russia. Now I am a first-year student at the Moscow State University of Design and Technology.

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 sports and music. I was very serious about a career in gymnastics when I was in the 4th form. But then I broke my arm and doctors didn't let me to go in for gymnastics. I love to listen to the modern music and dance. I dance a lot and I hope I am good at it. I also love swimming. I always swim in the Black sea when I visit my parents.

I would like to tell you about my family. There are five people in our family. My father's name is Mihail Evgenyevich. He is a mathematician by education but works at a bank now. My mother's name is Natalya Yakovlevna. She works as a chief accountant at the hotel «Cosmos». She also has much work about the house after she gets home from work. But my sister and I always help her. Yes, let me introduce my younger sister. She is still a pupil. Her name is Tanya and she is in the fifth form. She is very pretty and a great dancer. 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.

Our family is very friendly, we have many friends. In summer many relatives come to visit us.

In May I have finished school № 1515 in Moscow. I did well in all the subjects but my favourite subjects at school were Computer Science and English. I also enjoyed Geography lessons.

I am very interested in learning English because I always wanted to become an economist or a manager at some joint venture. That is why I think it is necessary to know at least one foreign language. Besides, knowledge of foreign languages helps in everyday life.
