My name is Mary and I am 25 years old. I was born on the 7th of July, 1992 in Saint-Petersburg. Saint-Petersburg is one of the biggest cities in Russia which once was the capital of the country. I am a second-year student. I study medicine. It is difficult to study at the State Medical University but I am trying to do my best to become a good specialist. I have a small family. There are only four of us: mother, father, grandmother and me. I am the only child in the family. My parents are doctors. My mother is 47 and my father is 49 years old. My mother is a pediatrician, she treats children. My father is a surgeon. His job is difficult and requires endurance. Sometimes his operations last for many hours! My grandmother is on pension now but she used to be an English teacher. She used to teach both children and adults. She is a good pedagogue. I know English very well thanks to my grandmother. I also have some close friends. I like going out with them. We are 6 in the company. We enjoy travelling together and going on picnics in summer and skating in winter. My friends also love visiting me because I always bake something delicious. In my leisure time, I prefer reading and drawing. I also play the piano. It is my hobby. I am keen on music and travelling. I love visiting new places and learning other cultures. I would like to go to Africa in summer to work as a volunteer and get some experience in curing people.
