1. Translate into English using new vocabulary.
Несколько лет назад я был скучным, бесстрастным человеком. У меня было много вредных привычек и большие проблемы с весом. Жизнь была для меня пыткой.
Однажды я прочел свой гороскоп и был очень удивлен, потому что люди моего знака не имели со мной ничего общего. Тогда я решил справиться со своими недостатками, изменить сою жизнь к лучшему любой ценой. Я понял, что главный мой недостаток – потакание своим слабостям и поменял свое отношение к жизни.
Я начал с моего внешнего вида и здоровья. Каждое утро я бегал в парке и скоро почувствовал себя молодым. Моим следующим намерением было найти новую работу. Судьба подарила мне такую возможность. Оказалось, что упрямство, ответственность, решительность и живой ум были теми качествами, которые помогли мне превзойти других кандидатов.
Через некоторое время я заметил, что мои друзья гордятся мной, а не смотрят сочувствующим взглядом. Все говорили, что я стал вежливым и добродушным. Я добился своих целей и знаю, что теперь передо мной безграничный мир возможностей и я его завоюю!
