About Myself

Let me introduce myself. My name is Oleg Petrov. I was born in the town of Svisloch, Grodno region on July 18, 1995. Our town is quite modern and beautiful. I finished our town secondary school. I did quite well at school. My favourite subjects were Math and Physics. Since childhood I enjoyed helping my grandparents, who live in a village. I am also interested in machinery. That‘s why I decided to become an agricultural engineer and entered Belarusian State Agrarian TechnicalUniversity.

Now I am a first year student of the farm machinery service department. I am going to be a farm machinery maintenance engineer. Nowadays in our highly competitive world one should be armed with good knowledge. Education does not end with graduation. An engineer should develop professionally throughout his/her life. He/she should always follow the trend in the newest technologies, read specialized literature, and communicate with fellow engineers. To be able to do this one should have a good command of

foreign languages. That‘s why I try to do my best to learn English. Knowing it is also of great help to me as I use computer and Internet a lot. I also enjoy listening to songs in English and it feels good to understand the lyrics.

I live in our university student hostel. I am quite sociable and have got a lot offriends. We like to play football and volleyball together. Sometimes we go fishing. I am also interested in programming and playing computer games.

My family are very proud of me. My father, an engineer, is 47. He was the one who influenced my choice of profession. My father is a man of strong will, he is the real head of the family. I take after him. My mother, who is two years younger than my father, is a teacher. She is very kind and generous. I have got a brother and a sister. My elder sister, Nina, is 23. She is married. Her daughter, my niece, is 1 year old. My younger brother, Boris, is 14, he is still a schoolboy. Boris has always looked up to me for advice and support. Our family isvery united. We enjoy spending holidays together and are always at hand to support each other.
