From the very start I should say that it is not an easy thing to speak about myself as it is hard to have a look at yourself from aside, but at the same time who knows you better than you yourself do?
I am a girl of sixteen. When I look at myself in the mirror I see a blond girl with short straight hair, dark eyes and a slender figure. As to my appearance I"m rather tall and slim. I have never thought I"m a beauty, I wish I were more beautiful. I am neither short nor tall, so I like to wear high-heeled shoes, trousers or jeans. I think that I "m even tempered, rather reserved, calm and modest. But sometimes I can lose my temper and become either angry or sad. I like alone staying and sometimes I retreat into my shell. But at the same time I like mine friends, I like to laugh and joke. I have got a sense of humor. It means I understand humor and appreciate it.
There are many things in our life I like and some I dislike. I like when everything is OK. Being happy is one way of being wise. I like to study because knowledge is useful sometimes. I"m fond of reading as it gives not only knowledge, but also wonderful moments of joy and pleasure.
I was born on the 25th of April 1995 in the town of Molodechno where I live now together with my parents and my younger sister. My early years, which I remember badly, were typical of a child living in a town. I was born into a family of a teacher and a doctor. I was sent to a kindergarten at the age of three as both my parents were working. As all the children I went to school at the age of six. Here I should say that it was my lucky chance to study for 11 years at the school of fine arts in the town of Molodechno. It turned out to be the best school in our town. There I got a proper training in such subjects as English, Russian, literature and world culture. School for me was not only lessons and learning, I had a lot of friends there. We organized extra class activities such as parties and other social activities. I actively participated in most of them.
I am sociable, so I have got a lot of friends among my schoolmates. I appreciate people's honesty, kindness, sense of justice and intelligence. I don't like when people are rude and aggressive.
Very soon I"ll pass my final exams at school and after a farewell party at the end of June I"ll say goodbye to my teachers who are very well-educated people with broad outlook and deep knowledge of the subjects.
I asked myself a lot of times what I wanted to be when I left school. A few years ago it was difficult to give a definite answer. As years passed I changed my mind several times. But I finally made up my mind what profession I would most like to have in the future. I realized that my strongest desire was to continue specializing in humanities and learn foreign languages in particular. I hope my dream will come true.
Finally, the things I hope to achieve in my life are: to have a very successful career, so this year after finishing school I will try to enter the University, to build the house of my dreams and to find someone in my life to share all that with.

Very soon I will take my GCSEs and after graduation at the end of June I will say goodbye to my teachers, these very well educated people with a broad outlook and deep knowledge of the subjects.
I asked myself many times what I want to be when I graduate from school. Several years ago it was difficult for me to give a definite answer. Over the years I changed my mind several times. But I finally decided what profession I would most like to have in the future. I realized that my strongest desire was to continue to specialize in the field humanities and study foreign languages, in particular. I hope my dream will come true.
From the very start I should say that it is not an easy thing to speak about myself as it is hard to have a look at yourself from aside, but at the same time who knows you better than you yourself do?

I was born on the 25th of April 1985 in the town of Molodechno where I live now together with my parents and my younger sister. My early years, which I remember badly, were typical of a child living in a town. I was born into a family of a teacher and a doctor. I was sent to a kindergarten at the age of three as both my parents were working. As all the children of Belarus I went to school at the age of six. Here I should say that it was my lucky chance to study for 11 years at the school of fine arts in the town of Molodechno. It turned out to be the best school in our town. There I got a proper training in such subjects as English, Russian and Belarusian, literature and world culture. I usually did a lot of home preparation for them and I liked everything I was doing in them. I really tried hard in them. But despite my efforts I was not good at Math.
School for me was not only lessons and learning, I had a lot of friends there. We organized extra class activities such as parties and other social activities. I actively participated in most of them.
I am sociable, so I have got a lot of friends among my schoolmates. As for me, I appreciate people's honesty, kindness, sense of justice and intelligence. I don't like when people are rude and aggressive.
I am stubborn at times. But to my mind being persistent is not always a bad thing. That means if I have an aim I never leave things half done. At times I feel dissatisfied with myself, especially when I fail to do something or can"t do things the way they should be done. At the same time I think I am hard-working and diligent. My greatest problem at school was talking in front of the class. I always blushed.
Very soon I"ll pass my final exams at school and after a farewell party at the end of June I"ll say goodbye to my teachers who are very well-educated people with broad outlook and deep knowledge of the subjects. They encouraged me in my decision of choosing mine future career. School meant a lot to me and it wasn't just learning and studying. I made good friends there and met many interesting people. I faced a new life without school with a mixed feeling of sadness and joy.
I asked myself a lot of times what I wanted to be when I left school. A few years ago it was difficult to give a definite answer. As years passed I changed my mind several times. But it was only in my last year at school that I finally made up my mind what profession I would most like to have in the future. I realized that my strongest desire was to continue specializing in humanities and learn foreign languages in particular. I hope my dream will come true. If I fail in my exams I"ll try to enter the University again.
And now a few words about my inclinations. I haven't got any special hobby, like collecting something, but I'm fond of reading books. They give me more knowledge of their people's lives and feelings and broaden my outlook. In my opinion, books are a source of emotional inspiration and romantic feeling. Besides, books help me to continue my own education. The time spent on a good book is never wasted. Reading is a rewarding pastime.
And of course I like music! I"m fond of music of the 60s, like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Elvis Prestly. The songs of the Beatles give me a lot of delight and pleasure. Besides, I am a great theatregoer. Whenever I have some time to spare, I go to the theater. I"m not keen on television.
Sometimes I play different sport games for health and pleasure. I usually play such games as volleyball, basketball, tennis, and sometimes football.
And finally, the things I hope to achieve in my life are: to have a very successful career, so this year after finishing school I will try to enter the University, to build the house of my dreams and to find someone in my life to share all that with.
When a student receives an assignment to write a story about himself, the first thing he does is go to the Internet, where he looks for a suitable essay. By replacing names and facts, you can easily create a story, but it will not be a story about you, but about another person. This story will quickly be forgotten and the next time you need to talk about yourself, you will have to make up the story again. Subject About Myself it is needed everywhere: at school and university exams, at interviews, when meeting new people, so there can be no doubt about its importance.
Many people have this question: What to talk about? A little bit of everything: about where you are from, about your family, about where you study or studied, about where you work or who you want to become, what your plans are for the future. You can talk about your character, hobbies and preferences, talents, and activities. In general, as we were taught at school, talk until the teacher stops you.
When preparing your story, it would help to know how much time you will have to introduce yourself. If it is a lesson or exam, a recommended length of story is usually given. In everyday communication, of course, no one will listen to your entire story of 30 sentences for 15 minutes. The interlocutor will ask questions that interest him and your answers will be parts of the compiled story. And the situation in which you talk about yourself can happen anywhere and anytime.
Therefore, we will look at how to write a simple story about yourself for an exam or class. We will offer you various options, your only job is to choose which of the proposed ones will be appropriate for your story about yourself.
When starting a story about yourself (or any story), you need to have a clear plan of what you will talk about. For example, your story plan is like this:
1. General information. ( General information about myself)
2. . (The place where I live)
3. Mine. (My family)
4. My education. (My education)
5. My (My job)
6. My (My hobbies and interests)
7. My character. (My character)
8. My plans for the future

Let me introduce myself.- Let me introduce myself.
Let me tell you a few words about myself.- Let me tell you a little about myself.
Let me tell you a couple of words about myself. - Allow me to say a few words about myself.
These are “classic” phrases for starting a story about yourself; look at the situation to see if it would be appropriate to use them. Next we introduce ourselves:
My name is... - My name is... .
By the way, we are often asked how to correctly say your name in English and whether it needs to be translated. If you are also not sure how your name will sound in English, then we recommend that you read the article "".
If friends and family call you something else, you can add:
But my friends call me... - But my friends usually call me...

We tell you more about how to talk about hobbies and how to use special expressions for this in a separate article:. We recommend you read it, the explanations are very accessible and there are many examples.

creative- creative
friendly- friendly

reliable- reliable
sociable- communicative
In any dictionary you can find more adjectives that will help you briefly describe your character.
In addition, you can mention your plans for the future:

I want to become a...- I want to be... .
I dream of having a big house.- I dream of a big house.
My dream is to go to Japan.- My dream is to go to Japan.
Remember to connect parts of your story with special phrases to make the story sound coherent. For example:
Now I would like to tell you about my hobbies.- Now I would like to tell you about my hobbies.
What about my character, I am a kind person.- As for my character, I am a kind person.
My family is very important to me.- My family is very important to me.
Transition rather than jump from one topic to another. At the same time, your story should not focus too much on one topic unless the situation requires it. Familiarize yourself with the structure of the phrases and replace the parts that change with the information that is true for you.
Now you can easily create truly high-quality and interesting story. If you write a story "About Myself", then you will need it more than once. In addition, what you write yourself will be remembered much better than what you rewrite from somewhere. We wish you success in writing stories and learning English!
