My name is Karina and I am 13 years old. I’m from Ukraine. I live in Ukraine, Khmelnitskiy. It’s a nice place. There is lot of greenery and there is almost no pollution at all. However there aren’t many facilities for young people. I study at school number six, 8-a form. I have many hobbies and many different interests. I attended different clubs: gymnastics, dancing, painting and decorative clay modeling. Now I go to art school, dance school and drama school. These are my favorite activities. Drawing is my hobby. It helps me to develop my fantasy. I think fantasy is very good, especially for my future profession. Dancing is my little hobby too. I think, every girl and boy should be able to dance well. I want to dance well and I will. And drama school is very important for me. Because I want to become an actress. At weekends I like to walk and have fun with my friends. We go to cinema, park, cafe and other places. Sometimes my parents and I go to the theater. I love music very much, especially rock, classical and pop. At school I have many favorite subjects. For example English, German, Ukrainian Language and World Literature. I think it’s important to speak English. Because I would like to communicate and to find new friends from other countries, to travel, listen and understand music and watch films and in English. Now let me tell you about my school day. Every day in our school lessons start at half past eight. My class is in Biology room on the second floor. It’s a very beautiful cabinet. There are many different plants.
