Text B: MY BIOGRAPHY

 

Now I'd like to tell you some words about myself. My name is Ivanova Anna. I am a first-year student of the faculty of Philology, the department of Journalism, group N14.

I have entered the Kursk State University thisyear. I hope to become a professional in the field of Periodical Press. I am fond of observing the current events in the cultural, literary and even political spheres of people's life. Sometimes they say I managed to give a very interesting interpretation of some facts from our everyday life. I believe my age is not an obstruction for that. The point is. I am just 18 years old.

I left school No25 in 2007. I have been working as a librarian in our University reading-hall for a year before entering the faculty of Philology.

 

It gave me an opportunity to read a lot of interesting books and magazines and to look through many various periodicals from Russian and foreign press. Besides, I worked hard to improve my knowledge of the theory of Russian language and literature. All of my friends as well as my parents helped me to gather a small home library of books on Modern Russian literature and a collection of interesting press cuttings. I am very thankful to them especially to my parents – my mother and father.

My mother's name is Anna too. I was named after her and I am very proud of it. She is an economist at one of the Kursk factories. She is 42, but all my friends find her very pretty and good-looking. My father is a worker at the same factory. We are very friendly.

I have forgotten to tell you about my brother, Nick by name. He is a school-boy of the 11th form. Our family lives in Marata Street ¹ 27. It's just the center of our town.

You see it's my biography. I can only add that I'm interested in Music. I finished Musical school ¹ 4 of our town. I can play the piano a bit, but not as a professional. I must disappoint you I'm not a young Richter though I appreciate my musical skills, they help me to be at a certain cultural level. I suppose, that's all I wanted to tell you about my "bright" personality.
