READING[5,p17] 1 Read the text and translate the first paragraph.

About myself.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Assel. I am sixteen. I was born in Almaty and live in this city. I am a school girl. My school is not far from my house. It takes me 15 minutes to walk there. I am in the eleventh form and this year I am going to finish school. We’ll have our final exams in June. Now I have to work hard at all the subjects. I like school. I’m having a great time there. My favourite subject is English. My teacher is a well-educated woman with deep knowledge of the subject. I’m very busy now preparing for classes and I have a little time for my hobbies, which are music and reading. I like music, especially, pop music and I collect CDs of my favourite groups and singers. I’m fond of pets. I have a cat and some fish, which I take care of every day. I am keen on reading. My favourite writer is O. Henry.

I’m also interested in sport. I’m a member of a tennis club, which I attend twice a week. I enjoy school mainly because of the number of friends I have there and I get on with them. We discuss our school problems and plans for the future. I also hate being alone. I believe that if I centre my full attention on either one or the other I will lose out somewhere. I also take an active part in social life and attend sport clubs. I really enjoy working with people. I want to be a doctor. It’s a difficult job, but I’m not keen on the idea of being a stereotypical housewife. I like the idea of working in a caring profession.
