Text 1 (Elementary level)

My name is Kate. My surname is Pavlova. I’m seventeen. I live in Minsk, in Pushkin Street. I was born on the 15^th of September.

I’ve got a family. It is small. We are a family of four. I’ve got a father, a mother and a brother. I haven’t got a sister. My father is an engineer. He works in a plant. He is tall and well-built man with black hair and grey eyes. My mother is a pleasant-looking woman of about forty. She is a teacher. My mother is energetic and talkative. She works at school. My brother is little. He doesn’t go to school. He goes to a kindergarten. He is four.

When my parents are at work my Granny looks after my brother. She cooks us tasty dinner. She is very kind. 1 love her very much.

We have got a cat. It is small and grey. It is very nice. It has big blue eyes, a funny nose, a small mouth and sharp teeth. Its ears are small. It can play hide-and-seek.

We have got a lot of relatives: cousins, aunts and uncles, because my Granny has a son and two daughters, five grandchildren,two nieces and one nephew.. They live in different towns. They come to see us and we usually have a good time together. I'm happy to have such a family.

Introducing Myself

Let me introduce myself. I’m Svetlana Alexandrova. I was born on the 29^th of March 1985 in Minsk under the zodiac sign of Aries. I believe that stars influence our fate and character. They say that Aries is full of energy, a leader, straight talker, ambitious and frank, likes sport, stubborn, hot- tempered, but quick to apologize. Actually, I’m persistent. It is different, I think.

As for my appearance, I’m rather tall and slim. I have never thought I am a beauty. I wish I were more beautiful. I think that I’m even-tempered, rather reserved, calm and modest. But sometimes I can lose my temper and become either angry or sad. I like staying alone and sometimes I retire into my shell. But at the same time I like my friends, I like to laugh and to joke. I have got a sense of humour. It means I understand humour and appreciate it. But unfortunately, I’m not often witty myself. I think, I am able to «keep my head when all about me are losing theirs» and to stand up to difficulties when things are not going my way. Besides, I am sincere and tolerant, friendly and faithful, hard-working and serious.

There are many things in our life which I like and some I dislike. I like when everything is OK. Being happy is one way of being wise. I like to study, because knowledge is useful . I am fond of reading as it gives not only knowledge but also wonderful moments of joy and pleasure. Sometimes I enjoy watching TV or listening to the radio. Especially when I can hear some wonderful pieces of music. I like music. It makes people better. It awakens the best feelings and high emotions. But there is a thing that makes me crazy. I’m fond of horses and equestrian skill. I dislike overcrowded buses. And I hate getting up early. I’m happy I have got more things I like than I dislike.
