Hello, my name is I am 12 years old. I was born on the 14th of April in 199.. I was born in Kaluga where I am still living wit my family. Our family is pretty small – it’s my father, my mother, my younger sister and me. But actually there are five of us, I forgot to tell that we have a dog Chuck. He is a member of our family, too. 

I am a tall guy but rather slim with dark brown hair, oval face and brown eyes. I like wearing casual clothes, jeans usually and a T-shirt. I also prefer sneakers. But I wear a uniform to school. 

As for my character, I think, I am rather modest and calm. I am not sure but my friends say that I have good sense of humour. I like everything active – active games, active sports, active leisure time activities 
I have a lot of friends and acquaintances. But sometimes I have those swings of mood when I feel sad and want to stay alone for some time. I think that’s quite OK because everybody has such moments. I like everything positive and when I have some problems I always try to find positive moments in them. I like to help people around and see how they become happy. I like kind, honest, polite, reliable and responsible people. And I hate when people are rude and aggressive. Aggression is bad. 

My father is 40. He is a dentist. He works in the hospital. Very often he is busy till late at night. And so he has very little free time. But my father likes his job because he likes to help people.
