Моя биография – My Biography
Позвольте представиться. Мое полное имя – Наталья Николаевна Иванова, конечно, это звучит чересчур солидно для девушки моего возраста. Я родилась 7 мая 1980 года в деревне Бакино Чутовского района Полтавской области. Два года тому назад наша семья переехала в Полтаву, где я сейчас живу со своими родителями. Я родилась в семье служащих. Я единственный ребенок в семье. Поскольку у мамы не было возможности быть домохозяйкой, меня вынуждены были отдать в ясли, когда мне не было еще и двух лет. Я совершенно не помню того времени. Тем не менее, я достаточно
Перевод на английский:
Let me introduce myself. My full name is Natalya Nickolayevna Ivanova, though it sounds rather pompous for a girl of my age. I was born on the 7th of May, 1980, in the village of Bakino, Chutov district, Poltava region. Two years ago our family moved to Poltava where I live now together with my parents. I was born in the family of the office-workers. I am an only child in the family. As my mother had no possibility to be a housewife I had to be taken to a nursery when I was not more than two years old. I don’t remember that time at all. Anyhow, I can remember quite well how much I hated going to the nursery when I was three or four. Not that children were ill treated there. I guess it’s just too early for any child of this age to be taken away from his mother. Now I’m a pupil of the eleventh form of a secondary school. I will finish school this year and I want to enter the Institute. That is why I have to study twice as hard as an ordinary pupil. I take an active part in social life, attend sport sections and subject circles. My favourite subjects are English, Russian and Literature. I have nothing against Natural Sciences and Maths, but somehow they seem of less importance for me. I am always very busy, but when I’m free I’m fond of reading. My favourite writers are Ernest Hemingway, Alexey Tolstoy, Michail Bulgakov. You see, my biography isn’t long. I hope my dream will come true and I’ll become a student. If I fail my exams I’ll be very upset, but next year I’ll try to enter the Institute again.
