Reading

1. Read the text below and translate it:

Let me introduce myself. My name is Кate.From the very beginning I should say that it’s not an easy thing to speak about yourself as it’s hard to have a look at yourself from aside, but at the same time who knows you better than you yourself do? So to begin with I should say that I am a girl of seventeen with dark hair and blue eyes. I am fairly tall and slim. I am short-sighted and I have to wear glasses most of the time.

I was born on the 3^d of May in 1994 in Volgograd where I live now together with my parents and my younger sister. My early years were typical of a child living in a city.

At the age of 7 I went to school. I studied at the same school for 11 years. In senior classes my favorite subjects were Russian literature, English, Biology, Art and Music. And I think I was rather good at those subjects. Besides learning school subjects I attended a sports club and did a bit of photography. I was also a member of the school literary club and wrote stories for our school newspaper.

Some months ago I passed my final exams at school. My marks were excellent in all the subjects and I got a golden medal. We had a wonderful farewell party at the end of June and I said good-bye to my teachers and classmates. I faced a new life without school with a mixed feeling of sadness and joy. School had meant a lot to me as it was not just learning and studying. I had made good friends there and met many interesting people.

I had asked myself a lot of times what I wanted to do when I left school. A few years ago it was difficult for me to give a definite answer. As the years passed I changed my mind several times. It was only in my last year at school that I finally made up my mind as to what profession I would most like to have in future. I realized that my strongest desire was to specialize in literature. That is why I have passed entrance exams lately. Now I am a first-year full-time student of the Volgograd State Social Pedagogical University (VSSPU for short).

Now a few words about my character and interests. My friends say that I’m sociable, helpful and cheerful. But my parents and my teachers sometimes say that I am not hardworking enough and that sometimes I am stubborn and hard to deal with, but I don’t think I am.

My favorite occupation is playing the guitar, reading and going to the theatre. I am fond of sport as well.
