About myself.

First of all let me introduce myself. My name is Nataliya, Natasha for short. Alexandrovna is my patronymic and Lebedeva is my surname. So my full name is Nataliya Alexandrovna Lebedeva though, of course, it sounds rather pompous for a girl of my age. I was born in Belgorod on the 21-st of March in 1979. My astrological zodiac sign is:

As I am only 17, my biography is lacking in interesting facts and achievements.

I learned reading before I was six, and that helped me greatly when I entered school. I’ve never had any trouble in learning. I’d like to say that I was a good pupil, I have always been interested in History, Literature, Mathematics and English.

Now I am a first-year student of Belgorod State University. I study at the … Faculty.

I’d like to say that I have a friend. His /her/ name is… . We live in the same block of flats.

I have some hobbies. But I have more hobbies and interests than I have time for. By the way I enjoy listening to music, I love folk music and dance. Besides, I like cooking and baking. I like to travel. My parents and I have already visited many ancient Russian towns.

Reading is one of my passions. I gulp down books by dozens. My favourite writers are Pushkin, Lermontov, Kuprin, Alexey Tolstoy, Byron and Shelly. Sometimes I read adventure stories, detectives, spy thrillers, science fiction. It depends on many factors: my mood, season of the year, the weather, and so on.

Photography (music, drawing, painting, collecting computer games, collecting stamps, collecting coins, gardening) is something else I’m very interested in.

Now a few words about my family. Our family is a big one. My parents have two more children besides me. Thus I have got an elder brother and a younger sister. My sister Helen is 12. She is a pretty round-faced and blue-eyed girl with golden hair which she wears short. My brother Igor is 6 years senior /junior/. He is married and has a wife and 2 children: a son and a daughter. My nephew and niece are lovely little kids.

My parents are not old at all. My father is a middle-aged person. In my opinion he is a handsome man of medium height. My father is a doctor. He is a well-known specialist in his sphere of medicine.

My mother is a good-looking woman. She is thirty-nine but she doesn’t look her age. She is kind and gentle. My mother is a book-keeper. Besides, she is good at cooking, excellent at sewing and knitting. She has got a brilliant sense of humour and it certainly adds up to her charm. My mother does the house-work, but we all always try to help her as much as possible.

I have many relatives. My aunts, uncles, cousins and second cousins live in different parts of Russia. My grandparents are pensioners. To my regret they live in the country quite far away and I don’t see them very often. But on holidays my relatives often come to our place. We are happy to be together.
