Ex.5 p.14
My name is Olga Vasetskaya. I’m 15. I was born on the 23rd of June 1999 in Kharkiv.
We are a family of four: my father, my mother, my younger sister and I. My elder sister is ten. Our family lives in Poltava. We have a nice four-roomed fiat. My mother is about 45. She is an economist. We all love dearly our Mum and are always ready to help her about the house. My father is an experienced engineer. He is 47. He is always busy and very often he works overtime. My grandparents don’t work now. They are pensioners. My Granny is fond of gardening and my Grandpa likes to go fishing. Our family is friendly. I like them very much. We don’t have any pet. My hobby is reading and playing different computer games.
I’m tall and slender. I have dark hair, dark eyes, a strait nose and thin lips. I wear spectacles. And I like to wear jeans and T-shirts. I’m not very lazy, I think that I’m an ambition person because I set up high goals for my career, and I try to be a success in school.
I am also an outgoing person. I like to go to discos, to parties with my friends. Certainly we talk a lot about life and our problems. I’m a very sociable person there are a lot of people whom I can call friends. One of them is Natasha. She is 20. She finished school three year ago and now she’s a student of University. Natasha is a future manager. She does not have much free time but if she has, Natasha likes to spend it in a good company. She likes to listen to music, dance, watch new films, discuss them and do many other interesting things. We often go to the cinema, cafes, concerts and shows. Natasha is a good friend. She’s always ready to help everybody who needs. My friend knows a lot of interesting facts about music, famous people and history. She is fond of skating. I am happy to have such good friend as Natasha.
Like many other children when I was a child I went to a kindergarten. At the age of 6 I went to school. I was very proud when I became a pupil. Our school is a fine four-storeyed building in the center of Lviv. The school-building is not very large, but there are many classrooms and specialized rooms for studying different subjects. We study Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Ukrainian, Russian, English, History, Geography and Biology in specialized rooms. Chemistry, Physics and Biology are taught in well equipped science rooms. Schemes and tables are on the walls. There is a good equipment for laboratory experiments in the labs. Mathematics is taught in the science rooms on the third floor. There is a special room equipped with calculators and computers. There are many specialized rooms for studying English in our school. Tape-recorders and record-players are widely used at our lessons. There is the Assembly Hall on the first floor of our school. We usually gather there to mark holidays. On the second floor there is a gym. We like our gym, and we like to spend the breaks there. During the breaks we usually played basketball or volleyball there. The dining-room and the canteen are on the ground floor. On the ground floor there is a workshop too. There we are taught to use some tools and machines.
Studying to be a lawyer represents the fulfillment of my longest held dreams. Whatever I could do as a lawyer to help people would gave me a great satisfaction. The duty of the lawyer is not only to punish people for various crimes: from serial murder to terrorism, but they must do their best to prevent crimes, to fight against evil in our society. The lawyers should help those people, who committed an error to find the right in their life.
Sometimes I like to stay home alone, especially when I need some relaxation. Then I listen to music, watch television, read books or play computer games.

WRITING
Ex.1 p.16
In my opinion writing is a process. We write for doing home tasks, planning, organizing our ideas, communicating with other people, passing the exams. I know such kinds of writing as articles, reports, letters, reviews, novels, stories, drafts, compositions and so on. It is very important to become a good writer for professional development to bring your ideas and thoughts to other people.
Ex.2b p.16
I’ve changed the idea that writing is not only a process, but it is also a skill.
