ALL ABOUT ME » Стр.86 (4)

Read the example of an autobiography and think of your own one. Let me introduce myself. My name is Maxym. My last name is Shevchenko. The patronymic is Oleksiyovych. So, my full name is Maxym Oleksiyovych Shevchenko. I am 15. I was born on April 21, 1992, in Kyiv. I live together with my parents. Our family is not big. There are three of us: mother, father and me. My parents are young. My mum is a good–looking woman. She is 38. She works as an financist. My mother likes reading books and painitng. She always helps me with my problems. My father is 41. He is a sport trainer. He likes his work very much. My father cooks well, too. He always makes new dishes and they are very tasty. In the evening all the members of our family like watching TV. Sometimes we go to the cinema or a concert. We are a friendly family. We are deeply attached to each other, and we get on very well. We do not have a “generation gap” problem. I am a pupil. I study at a local school in the 9th form. And I love my teachers very much. They made learning fun. Maybe because of the example of my teachers I decided to become one of them. After finishing school I plan to enter the linguistic university. That is why I have to study twice as hard as an ordinary pupil. My favourite subjects are English and IT. At English lessons we read and translate texts, learn new words, do a lot of interesting projects. Many times I went abroad to international friendship camps to improve my skills in foreign languages. At IT lessons we write programmes. I have nothing against Natural Sciences and Maths, but somehow they seem of less importance to me. I take an active part in social life, attend sports sections and subject clubs. I have some hobbies, they are sport and travelling. I am a sporty person. I like to play football and also want to be a famous footballer. I am also a melomane. Everybody likes music — some people enjoy classical music, others are fond of popular music. Being open–minded, I like all kinds of music. I think it is necessary to have a hobby. My free time is not wasted. Maxym Shevchenko
