About myself.
My name is Sergey, but my friends call me Seriy. I am 15. I am tall, dark-haired and blue-eyed young person. I like to wear jeans and T-shirts. I like pop, rock and classical music. My hobbies are sport and reading. Speaking about my character, I can say that I’m friendly, kind, generous and honest. I do not like falsehood.
I have my own likes and dislikes. I am modest and sometimes shy, but do not advice someone tricking or kidding me. But in spite of all these characters, I can keep secrets; I never let my friends down. I usually say, what I think, that is why people around me often take offence. For me it is very difficult to cope with people who have such features of character as egoism and dishonesty.
I enjoy spending time with my family very much. We often go for walks. I enjoy strolling along streets because my parents usually tell me a lot of interesting details of the history of our city. That is also the reason I’m fond of travelling with my parents. My mother spends much time in the kitchen — she is keen on cooking. We always find out new recipes, try them. When I was a child, my father involved me in stamp collecting. Since that time, stamps and ancient coins have become my hobby. We have a huge collection of stamps and coins. We also are keen on music and everyone who comes to our place praises our numerous collections of CD and DVD disks. It is impossible to name all the things we can do together, so I think I can stop here.
INTRODUCING MYSELF
There is a saying that if you want something to be done well, do it yourself. So, I am following this wise saying and would like to introduce myself.
My first name is Sergey, my family name is Kravtsov and my second name is Yurievich.
But in the beginning, I would like to represent my family and parents. Actually my family isn’t large. My family consists of my father, mother, sister and cat Boris.
My father’s name is Yuri. He is 41 years old, but he looks much younger. He is a businessman. My dad is a well-educated and well-read person; he has experiences in many fields. That is why it is always interesting to communicate with him, he usually tells many exciting stories, of course, if he has free time.
And my mother is 37. Her name is Natalia. She is a good-looking, blond woman. She has large green eyes. I admire her character. She is an optimist; she is full of energy and enthusiasm. I really adore her sense of humor. She is a housewife. It takes her much time and power to take care of our home. But I can assure, she copes with her job very well. Besides, both my farther and I help her with the housework. For example, I wash dishes, plates, sometimes go shopping and so on.
