				ABOUT MYSELF 
				My name is Oleg, my surname is Petrov I am fourteen years old. I 
				was born on the 25th of October, 1992.1 am Russian. I was born 
				in Vologda and this is my hometown. When I was a child, I went 
				to a kindergarten. I learnt how to draw, read and write letters 
				and words. We learnt Russian alphabet too. 
				When I was seven my parents moved to Moscow. We have lived in 
				this city for seven years already. My family is not very big: I 
				have got a mother, a father and an elder brother. 
				I am a pupil. I study in the 9th form. I like studying. My 
				favourite school subjects are English, Russian and Biology. I 
				want to be a teacher of English like my mother. I am very good 
				at foreign languages. I want to learn Spanish and French, too. 
				My teachers and parents say that I am hard-working and clever. 
				Sometimes I like spending time at home, listening to music or 
				watching TV. I also like reading, playing computer games and 
				drawing. Sometimes I play football with my friends and my 
				brother. My favourite music genre is rock music and I always 
				argue with my brother who likes popular music. 
				When I was a child, I had a lot of hobbies, but now I do not 
				have much time for them. I used to collect badges and stamps, 
				but I gave it up, too. Now my major hobby is English, so I read 
				English books and watch films in the English language.
