About myself / О себе. Say about myself


Топик About Myself – АНГЛИЙСКИЙ в полном порядке

My name is Katya. I have turned 17 this year and I am a school-leaver which is both sad and exciting. I have said goodbye to my classmates and teachers and now I am trying my luck to enter the university. Меня зовут Катя. В этом году мне исполнилось 17 лет, и я выпускаюсь из школы, что как грустно, так и приятно. Я попрощалась с моими одноклассниками, и теперь я пробую удачу в поступлении в университет.
When I look at myself in the mirror I see a blond girl with short straight hair, dark eyes and a slender figure. I have to wear high-heeled shoes all the time as I am small, slightly over 160 centimetres in height. I always envy tall girls, to say nothing of top models. Когда я смотрю на себя в зеркало, то вижу светловолосую девушку с короткими прямыми волосами, темными глазами и стройной фигурой. Я вынуждена все время носить туфли на высоком каблуке, потому что я маленькая, чуть выше 160 сантиметров. Я всегда завидую высоким девушкам, не говоря уже о топ-моделях.
I am not an only child in the family. I have an elder sister, Lena by name, who is a university graduate. I was born in a family of a military man and a doctor. My family had to move from one place to another several times and I was sent to a kindergarten at the age of three as both the parents were working. Я не единственный ребенок в семье. У меня есть старшая сестра по имени Лена, которая заканчивает университет. Я родилась в семье военного и врача. Моей семье пришлось переезжать с одного места на другое несколько раз, и в возрасте трех лет меня отправили в детский сад, так как оба родителя работали.
I have changed three schools in different places. Here I should say that it was my lucky chance to study for six years at an English specialized school. It turned out to be the best school I had attended. There I got a proper training in such subjects as English, French, Russian and Russian literatures and world culture. I usually did a lot of home preparation for them and I liked everything I was doing in them. I really tried hard at school. But despite my efforts I was not good at Maths and Chemistry. Я сменила три школы в разных местах. Здесь мне повезло учиться в течение шести лет в специализированной английской школе. Она оказалась лучшей школой, которую я только посещала. Здесь у меня было хорошее обучение таким предметам, как английский, французский, русский, русская литература и мировая культура. Обычно я много готовилась дома, и мне нравилось все, что я делала. Я по-настоящему старалась в школе. Но, несмотря на мои усилия,мне не давалась математика и химия.
School for me was not only lessons and learning. I had a lot of friends there. We organized extra-class activities such as, for example, debate clubs. We worked out our own regulations of behaviour at school, organized parties and other social activities. I actively participatedin most of them. Для меня школа заключалась не только в занятиях и уроках. У меня там было много друзей. Мы организовывали внеучебные мероприятия, такие как, например, дискуссионные клубы. Мы разрабатывали наши собственные школьные правила поведения, устраивали вечеринки и другие мероприятия. В большинстве из них я активно принимала участие.
I am a sociable person, so I’ve got a lot of friends among my schoolmates. I appreciate people’s honesty, kindness, sense of justice and intelligence. I don’t like it when people are rude and aggressive. Я общительный человек, поэтому среди одноклассников у меня много друзей. Я ценю в людях честность, доброту, чувство справедливости и ум. Я не люблю, когда люди грубы и агрессивны.
I’m stubborn at times. But to my mind being persistent and stubborn is not always a bad thing. It also means that I do everything possible to achicve my aim, I never leave things half-done. Временами я упряма. Но на мой взгляд, быть настойчивой и упрямой не всегда плохо. Это также значит, что я сделаю все возможное, чтобы достичь цели. Я никогда не оставляю дела незавершенными.
At times I feel dissatisfied with myself, especially when I fail to do something or can’t do things the way they should be done. At the same time I think I am hard-working and diligent. My greatest problem at school was talking in front of the class. I always blushed and went red. Временами я чувствую себя неудовлетворенной, особенно когда мне не удается сделать что-нибудь или сделать что-то так, как это должно быть. В то же время, я считаю себя усердной и прилежной. Мой самой большой проблемой в школе было выступление перед классом. Я всегда краснела.
I haven’t got any special hobby, like collecting something, but I’m fond of reading books. They give me more knowledge of other people’s lives and feelings and broaden my outlook. У меня нет какого-либо особенного хобби типа коллекционирования чего-либо, но я люблю читать книги. Они мне дают еще больше знания о жизни и чувствах других людей и расширяют кругозор.
And of course, I like music! I am fond of the music of the 60-s, like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Elvis Presley. The songs of the Beatles give me much delight and pleasure. Besides I’m a great theatre-goer. Whenever I have some time to spare, I go to the theatre. I am not keen on television, I don’t watch it much. That’s all I can say about myself. И, конечно же, мне нравится музыка! Я люблю музыку 60-х типа Битлз, Роллинг Стоунз и Элвиса Пресли. Песни Битлз приносят мне много радости у удовольствия. Кроме того, я заядлая  любительница театра. Когда бы у меня ни появилось свободное время, я иду в театр. Я не фанат телевидения и не смотрю его много. Это все, что я могу сказать о себе.

Hello! I am Jane. I am 21. I am a student. I consider it to be a special time in my life. Student life is always full of fun, new impressions and knowledge. I like being a student.

Sometimes we stay at the university after classes to prepare our homework for the next day or just to talk about our student life.

I like spending time with my friends. We often visit each other. I can talk with them for hours. They can help me and support me in any situation. I can say the same about my parents, with whom I live. My mother is a very wise woman. She understands me. We are not only close relatives, but also close friends. We have the same favourite colours — green and blue. These are the colours of nature and the sky. Our family hobby is travelling. We like seeing new places, meeting new people, exchanging our impressions. We often travel in summer and in winter. I adore Turkey, Egypt, and France. These countries have their own traditions, unique nature and culture.

My other hobbies are music and theatre. I often visit the theatre. I sympathize with the characters on the stage. I try to understand them and, finally, I find it easier to solve my own problems watching the play. I understand my family and friends better. I am grateful to them for being so close to me, for their understand­ing and support.

About Myself - топик на английском

From the very start I should say that it is not an easy thing to speak about myself as it is hard to have a look at yourself from aside, but at the same time who knows you better than you yourself do?

I am a girl of sixteen. When I look at myself in the mirror I see a blond girl with short straight hair, dark eyes and a slender figure. As to my appearance I'm rather tall and slim. I have never thought I'm a beauty, I wish I were more beautiful. I think that I'm even tempered, rather reserved, calm and modest. But sometimes I can lose my temper and become either angry or sad. I like staying alone and sometimes I retreat into my shell. But at the same time I like my friends, I like to laugh and joke. I have got a sense of humour. It means I understand humour and appreciate it.

There are many things in our life I like and some I dislike. I like when everything is OK. Being happy is one way of being wise. I like to study because knowledge is useful sometimes. I'm fond of reading as it gives not only knowledge, but also wonderful moments of joy and pleasure. I am neither short nor tall, so I like to wear high-heeled shoes, trousers or jeans.

I was born on the 25th of April 1985 in the town of Molodechno where I live now together with my parents and my younger sister. My early years, which I remember badly, were typical of a child living in a town. I was born into a family of a teacher and a doctor. I was sent to a kindergarten at the age of three as both my parents were working. As all the children of Belarus I went to school at the age of six. Here I should say that it was my lucky chance to study for 11 years at the school of fine arts in the town of Molodechno. It turned out to be the best school in our town. There I got a proper training in such subjects as English, Russian and Belarusian, literature and world culture. I usually did a lot of home preparation for them and I liked everything I was doing in them. I really tried hard in them. But despite my efforts I was not good at Math.

School for me was not only lessons and learning, I had a lot of friends there. We organized extra class activities such as parties and other social activities. I actively participated in most of them.

I am sociable, so I have got a lot of friends among my schoolmates. As for me, I appreciate people's honesty, kindness, sense of justice and intelligence. I don't like when people are rude and aggressive.

At times I feel dissatisfied with myself, especially when I fail to do something or can't do things the way they should be done. At the same time I think I am hard-working and diligent. My greatest problem at school was talking in front of the class. I always blushed.

Very soon I'll pass my final exams at school and after a farewell party at the end of June I'll say goodbye to my teachers who are very well-educated people with broad outlook and deep knowledge of the subjects. They encouraged me in my disire of choosing my future career. School meant a lot to me and it wasn't just learning and studying. I made good friends there and met many interesting people. I faced a new life without school with a mixed feeling of sadness and joy.

I asked myself a lot of times what I wanted to be when I left school. A few years ago it was difficult to give a definite answer. As years passed I changed my mind several times. But it was only in my last year at school that I finally made up my mind what profession I would most like to have in the future. I realized that my strongest desire was to continue specializing in humanities and learn foreign languages in particular. I hope my dream will come true. If I fail in my exams I'll try to enter the University again.

And now a few words about my inclinations. I haven't got any special hobby, like collecting something, but I'm fond of reading books. They give me more knowledge of their people's lives and feelings and broaden my outlook. In my opinion, books are a source of emotional inspiration and romantic feeling. Besides, books help me to continue my own education. The time spent on a good book is never wasted. Reading is a rewarding pastime.

And of course I like music! I'm fond of music of the 60-s, like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Elvis Prestly. The songs of the Beatles give me a lot of delight and pleasure. Besides, I am a great theatregoer. Whenever I have some time to spare, I go to the theatre. I'm not keen on television.

Sometimes I play different sport games for health and pleasure. I usually play such games as volleyball, basketball, tennis, and sometimes football.

And finally, the things I hope to achieve in my life are: to have a very successful career, so this year after finishing school I will try to enter the University, to build the house of my dreams and to find someone in my life to share all that with.

About myself in English – АНГЛИЙСКИЙ в полном порядке

To tell the truth it is not so easy for me to speak about myself but I’ll try to do my best.

First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Olga, Olya for short. I was born on the 22nd of January in 20__. So I am sixteen now.

I was born in Novgorod, but twelve years ago my parents moved to St. Petersburg, and I have got accustomed to consider it my native town.

As for my appearance you can judge yourself. I think there is nothing special in my appearance to attract attention. I am neither tall nor short. I am of medium height like my parents. My parents believe I am slim, but to my mind I am a bit plump and need to lose weight. My hair is straight and long, I do not like a haircut. I wear my hair either loose or done in a knot which becomes me most.

I am like my mother about my face. But my blue and close-set eyes resemble my father’s. My mother’s eyes are hazel. Unfortunately I am short-sighted. I wish I did not have to wear glasses.

My friends say I am easy to deal with but I am always a little unsure of myself, a little too nervous of what other people might say about me. I wish I were more reserved. I am stubborn and never drop my work half-way, always trying to achieve the goal I set. It is difficult to put me off if I have made up my mind to do something. Maybe that is why my interests do not change much with the time.

As I am interested in ancient history I prefer reading historical novels when I have some free time. When I am tired I listen to music. I am fond of both classical and modem music, so my favourite performer is Vanessa Mae. I can play the piano a little but I wish I could play the guitar as well.

Questions:

1. What do people usually say introducing themselves?2. Who are you like?3. What would you like to say about yourself?4. Is there anything special about your character?5. How often do you have to speak about yourself?

Translate the following sentences into English:

1. Мама говорит, что я похож на нее, папа утверждает, что у меня точно такой же подбородок, как у него, а бабушка уверена, что я – точная копия моего покойного (late) дедушки. Попробуй, разберись, на кого из родственников я похож!

2. Отец часто говорит, что мне не хватает силы воли. Похоже, это действительно так. Мне очень трудно заставить себя делать те вещи, которые мне не нравятся. Например, я до последнего оттягиваю визит к зубному врачу.

3. Упрямство – сложное качество характера. Я считаю, что упрямство в мелочах – неприятное свойство личности, но в то же время настойчивость в достижении достойных целей заслуживает всяческих похвал.

4. Лев Толстой считал, что душевные качества человека можно определить в зависимости от того, как он улыбается. Действительно, хорошо улыбаются только добрые, искренние люди.

5. Как объяснить, как я выгляжу? Во мне нет ничего особенного. Обычного роста, ни толстый, ни тонкий, не очень красивый, но и не урод. Волосы и лицо у меня тоже самые обычные.
