My name is helen. my surname is pavlova. i live in bratsk ( ust-ilimsk , zheleznogorsk , etc. ). my address is flat 12, 25 primorskaja street. my phone number is one - double five - nine - two (1-55-92). i am 17 years old. i was born on the 29th of march, 1985 in bratsk under the zodiac sign of aries. i believe that stars influence our fate and character. as you see, i am aries. they say that aries is full of energy, a leader, straight talker, ambitious and frank, likes sport, stubborn, hot temper, but quick to apologize. partially it is true. i cannot admit i am stubborn. actually, i am persistent. it is different, i think. as to my appearance, i am rather tall and slim. i have never thought i am a beauty. i wish i were more beautiful. i think i am even-tempered, rather reserved, calm, and modest. but sometimes i can lose my temper and become either angry or sad. i like staying alone and sometimes i retire into my shell. but at the same time i like my friends, i like to laugh and to joke. i have got a sense of humor. it means i understand humor and appreciate it. but unfortunately i am not often witty myself. i think i am able to "keep my head when all around me are losing theirs'' and to stand up to difficulties when things are not going my way. besides, i am sincere and tolerant, friendly and faithful, hard working and serious. there are many things in our life, which i like, and some 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 am fond of reading, as it gives not only knowledge but also wonderful moments of joy and pleasure. sometimes i enjoy watching tv or listening to the radio, especially when i can hear some wonderful pieces of music. i like music. it makes people better. it awakens the best feelings and high emotions. but there is a thing that makes me crazy. i am fond of horses and equestrian skill. i dislike overcrowded buses. and i hate getting up early. i am happy i have got more things i like than i dislike. now i would like to say some words about my family. i live with my father, my mother and my eleven-year-old sister, masha. we have got a flat in a new block of flats.
