ABOUT MYSELF AND MY FAMILY

First of all, I'd like to say that it's very hard to speak about myself because I have to analyze the traits of my character by myself but I'll try to . I was born on the ... (day) of ... (month) in ... (year) in ... (city, town. I am a student of the Higher State College of Communication. I am lucky to study here because the atmosphere at my college is non-stressful, friendly, and enjoyable but at the same time creative and stimulating.

I am friendly, energetic but also a bit lazy. I have many friends because I am very sociable and my friends are very important for me.

If speaking about my family, I can say that it is not very large. I'm the only child in the family, so I have neither brothers nor sisters to share my secrets with. But I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth because I have both of my parents alive and I can enjoy honest and open relationship in my family. It is my parents who give me a good example to follow. I feel safe because the little world within my family is perfect.

My parents are nice people but they are very different, you know. Mum is an out-going woman who enjoys talking and contacting with people. Dad is rather reserved, he likes being on his own. Mum is always calm and well-balanced and she never gets excited. Dad, on the other hand, easily gets angry. But he never raises his voice to shout at me because I'm the apple of my father's eye.

I have taken after my mother in character and in appearance. I am not very tall but I am slender, I have blue-eyes and fair curly hair. I never lose my temper and can control my feelings. I understand humor and appreciate it.

There is nothing I like better than to curl up in a big arm-chair with an interesting book. Literature means a lot in my life. It helps me to build up my character and the world outlook Besides, I get a real joy playing tennis and hiking with my friends,

There are some things in my life which I dislike. For example, I dislike staying in long queues and I can't stand overcrowded buses. And I hate getting up early.

I hope to get good knowledge at my college. I am sure knowledge is the highest privilege of the day quite necessary to make my way in society.
