I am a boy of seventeen. When I look at ….. in the mirror I see a boy with short black hair, brown eyes. As to ….. appearance I’m rather tall and slim. I think that I’m calm and modest. I like my friends, I like to laugh and joke. I have got a good sense of humour. There are many things in our life I like and some I dislike. I like when everything is good.

I was born on the 15th of February 1996 in the town of Karaganda where I live now together with my parents and my two sisters and elder brother. I was born in a family of a builder and a doctor.

I am a pupil of 10 form. I like to study because knowledge is useful sometimes. I’m fond of reading.

My favourite subjects are English, Kazakh and literature. 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. I am sociable, so I have got a lot of friends among my schoolmates. As for me I appreciate people’s hornesty, kindness, sense of justice and intelligence. I don’t like when people are rude and aggressive. I am stubborn at times. Also I never leave things half done. I think I am hard-working and diligent.

Soon (after a one year) I’ll pass my final exams at school and after a farewell party at the end of the June I’ll say good-bye to my teachers. They help me to chooses my future profession. School is a good place for me. I had made good friends there and met many interesting people.

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. I changed my mind several times. But at the end I realized that my strongest desire was to continue learn foreign languages. I hope my dream will come true. If I fail in my exams I’ll try to enter the University again.

And now a few words about ….. inclinations. I have got a hobby — I’m fond of reading books (also I read books on computer after dowload it from Internet). They give me more knowledge. In my opinion, books are a source of emotional inspiration and romantic feeling. The time spend on a good book is never wasted. Reading is a rewarding pasting. And of course I like music! I’m fond of modern pop music of nowadays.

Besides, I am a like to go to the cinema. Whenever I have some time to spare, I go to the cinema. I’m not keen on television. Sometimes I play different sport games for health and pleasure. I usually play such games as football, volleyball. I like to wear shoes, trousers or jeans.

And the last thing I would like to tell you about things I hope to achieve in my life are: after finishing school I try to enter the University, 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.
