About myself

First of all let me introduce myself. My name is Anna. I am seventeen. I live in Yekaterinburg and it’s my native city.

As to my appearance I am tall and thin. My face is round and I have a fair complexion. I have large blue eyes, and my hair is black, straight and long.

I think that I'm even - tempered, reserved, calm and modest. But sometimes I can lose my temper and become angry or sad. I like staying alone. 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.

I was born on the 25th of April 1995 in the city of Yekaterinburg where I live now together with my parents and my younger brother. I was born in a family of a teacher and a doctor. I went to school when I was 7, and there I was very good at History, Russian literature and English. I really tried hard in them. But  I was quite bad at Math.

I have just left school and now I am finally a student of the Ural State Pedagogical University. I am going to be a music teacher. I like my future profession and I am going to do my best to become a good specialist.

I haven't got any special hobby, like collecting something but I'm fond of reading books. And of course I like music. I'm fond of music of the 60-s, like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Elvis Prestly. The songs of the Beatles give me much delight and pleasure. If I have some free time, I go to the cinema. I don’t like television. My favourite sport is ice-skating. My friends and I often get together to play different games, to go for a walk or to the disco.
