About Myself
1.My name is Alice. I am a second-year student now. The University I am at has a high reputation as it trains qualified specialists. I take language studies at the University. I want to become a teacher of Spanish. I can speak Spanish a little but I don’t think Spanish is an easy language to study.
2. My family is miles away from the city I study in. I live in the student’s hall like many other students do. We take many compulsory subjects. I keep regular hours to be in time for classes. It takes me twenty-five minutes to get to the University by bus. Only four students of our group are from Voronezh, the others either come from different parts of our country or from abroad. We usually have a lot of things to talk about.
3. There is a very good language laboratory at our University.
It has modern equipment. We spend a lot of time in the laboratory listening, imitating the sounds and intonation. It helps us to learn the language without much difficulty.
4. I come to the hall from the University at about a quarter to five every evening. I live in a single room and have nobody to speak Spanish to. I go to the girl next door and we do our lessons together. We are always ready to help each other. We work very hard to master the language.
5. Sometimes we go out in the evening. We go to the pictures if there is something new on or to the club if there is a dancing party there. But we often stay in, watch an interesting film on TV or listen to good music.
