Well, my name is Elena. I'm seventeen years old. I'm at the 10-th form. 

I'm doing rather well at school. My parents are proud of my marks and attitude at school, teachers always praise me. I go in for sports: I go in for gymnastics and swimming. I take part in different competitions and win from time to time. In summer I like jogging.  

In a year I' finishing school and I have to choose an occupation I want to follow. I want to become a translator or an interpreter.

My friends say that I'm kind, responsible and sympathetic. I like to spend time with my friends; we play different games and go in fir sports together.

 
I like my family very much. Our family is an average-sized Belarusian family - we are family of four: my mother, father, elder sister Natasha and me. We all like to spend time together - to walk in the evening together and to go for picnics.

When I have free time I like to listen to music, draw pictures and take photos of nature (especially I like flowers). I like to play with my beloved cat Max, who likes to sleep in my bed and who adores when I devote him my spare time.

So it's me and I like myself as I am.
