ABOUT MYSELF
My name is Marina Suvorova. I am 15. I was born on the 5 of March, 1995 in Rostov-on-Don. Now I live in Rostov with my parents and my grandmother.
I am a student of the college now. We have many good teachers at our college. I try to be a good pupil and I do well in all subjects. But my favorite subject is English. I spend much time on it. I like reading. I like detective stories but I prefer to read historical novels of modem writers.
Usually I get up at 7 o'clock on week-days. I do my bed and open the window. Sometimes I do my morning exercises, but not always. Then I go to the bathroom, wash myself and clean my teeth. Sometimes I take a shower. After that I go back to my bedroom, dress myself and brush my hair. In five minutes I am ready for breakfast. I usually have a cup of tea or coffee and a sandwich. After breakfast I take my bag, put on my coat and go to the college.
I live not far from my college and it takes me only ten minutes to walk there. I am never late for the first lesson because I come to the college a few minutes before the bell. I leave my coat in the cloakroom and go to the classroom. The lessons begin at eight o'clock and at half past one they are over. Sometimes after the lessons I go to the library to take some books, I usually do my home task at home.
I have many friends. Many of them are my classmates. We spend much time together, go for a walk, talk about lessons, music and discuss our problems.
I like to listen to modem music, but sometimes I like to listen to some classical music. My favorite composer is Tchaikovsky, I haven't much time to watch TV but sometimes I spend an hour or two watching an interesting film or a news programmer. In the evening I often read newspapers or an interesting book. I like fresh air and exercises, but 1 have not much time to go in for sports. Twice a week I go to the swimming pool. I play volleyball in the college team and we have our training at our big gymnasium.
