Sample 1.
Hello everyone! I’m excited to have the opportunity to introduce myself to all of you. My name is Anton. I would love to share a bit about who I am, my interests, and what I hope to experience. It is often not easy to speak about myself but I shall try. I’m 15 years old. I was born in a Belarusian town of Soligorsk which is located 130 km to the south of the the capital of our country, Minsk. I live in my native city, in a comfortable flat with my nuclear family.
My mother is on a maternity leave, my father works as a chief at the road police. I am currently studying in the 9th grade of a secondary school, and I find great joy in Math and English. Education and hard work are important values in my life, and I want to continually grow both personally and professionally. Quite soon I will have to make probably the most important decision and choose my future profession. At present I would like to become a programmer or a web designer.
What about my appearance, I'm of medium height and well-built. I've got an oval face, almond-shaped eyes with thick eyelashes, a slightly upturned nose, high cheekbones and full lips. I take after my granny in appearance as we both have short straight dark hair and the same face shape. I take after my mum in character because we’re both sensitive and responsible. My star sign is Virgo and I suppose I am a typical Virgo. I could describe myself as a selfless person. I’m not an outgoing person, though people consider me to be easy-going. Besides I’m rather serious and calm and I always try to keep promises. As the the firstborn I never get away with things, that is how I learnt to be responsible for what I do. To be quite frank I am a bit ashamed of my drawbacks: I can be lazy sometimes and too touchy, it’s possible for me to accept my failures with dignity. In other people I appreciate kindness, sincerity, intelligence and a nice sense of humour. I cannot get on well with people who are super active, even messy, arrogant or selfish.
I’ve got a lot of friends. Luckily we have a lot in common, so we can spend much time together going to the cinema and concerts. In my free time, I enjoy a variety of activities that keep my life balanced and colorful. My hobbies are surfing the Internet and playing computer games. I also devote enough time to sports: in warm seasons I go jogging or cycling in the nearest park and in winter I adore skiing. I’m open to trying out new things, so if you have recommendations or activities you enjoy, I would be thrilled to join you!
My life motto is to keep your chin up, so nothing can let me down. I have plenty of interesting plans and exciting dreams in my life and I hope that they will definitely come true and my personality traits will help me.

I am currently studying in the 9th grade of a secondary school, and I find great joy in English and PE. Education and hard work are important values in my life, and I want to continually grow both personally and professionally. Quite soon I will have to make probably the most important decision and choose my future profession. I currently don't know who I would become in the future.
I'm of medium height and well-built. I've got an oval face and almond-shaped eyes, a hooked nose, high cheekbones and thin lips. I also have short dark hair and medium-sized ears. I somewhat take after my mom in terms of appearance, as we both look kinda similar. My star sign is Scorpio which people say means you are tough and manipulative, in reality it means absolutely nothing. I am usually quite funny and can help most of the time. My drawbacks are laziness and... that's it. As an only child I never get away with things, that is how I learnt to be responsible for what I do. In other people, I appreciate intelligence. I hate people who are bossy or rude to other people.
So far I have only one friend. We have a decent amount of things in common. We also spend a lot of time playing together, talking to each other, joking, etc. In my free time, I enjoy a variety of activities that keep my life balanced and colorful. I enjoy playing computer games and talking on Discord. Some of my other hobbies are listening to music and thinking. I’m open to trying out new things, so if you have recommendations or activities you enjoy, I would be thrilled to join you!
My life motto is when you feel like something went wrong, instead of trying and trying again, figure out what went wrong, then try again. I have plenty of thought and it would be nice if some of them came true.
