Alex
Let me introduce myself. I am Alex Sidorov. Alex is my first name and Sidorov is my surname. I am seventeen years old. In spring I finished school and now I am a student at Kazan National Research Technological University. This is my first year, I enjoy studying here and I do my best to get only “fives”.
I think I take after my father. I'm tall and medium build, in fact I am 1 metre 80 and I weigh about 75 kilos. I have got short red hair, brown eyes and freckles.
People say I am warm and friendly. I hope I am. I also think I am polite, cheerful and optimistic. I always try to be in a good mood.
Jane
I’m about one metre seventy, or something like that. So I am medium height. I’m overweight I think though my friends say I am not. I don’t know how much I weigh, ‘cause I always find it too depressing to weigh myself. I don’t think I take as much exercise as I should. I used to go to a gym, but I found it really boring. My main exercise is walking – I walk everywhere – and swimming, which is fine for giving you good stamina and it’s good for your heart, spine and lungs.
I have got dark skin and long straight black hair which I wear loose. I am calm. My hobbies are music and literature.
Oscar
I have quite an outgoing personality, really. I make friends very easily. I can mix quite well with people that I’ve never met before and with people from different walks of life. I like to be friendly to the people around me. My friends and I often spend time together watching movies and playing outdoor games.
I have a passionate interest in sports, especially football. I play football with my friends every weekend, and I watch all matches of my favourite football team Barcelona on TV.

I am a dark-haired guy with black eyes. I am honest and reliable and I value these qualities highly. I am a second-year student at Medical University.
Kate
Well, actually it is very difficult to speak about yourself, but I will try. I think that I am home-loving, kind and patient. I can get on well with people, because I always try to help them and they trust me. I am very active, although my parents say that I am lazy, because I don’t like to do the things they want me to do. Also I am very conservative, they say, and I completely agree with it. I never change anything in my life: ideas, principles, friends. And the proverb “Old friends are best friends” is my motto.
