Я стала объектом вооруженного нападения, когда возвращалась домой незадолго до полуночи. Я успела заметить, что кто-то идет за мной, но не сумела избежать нападения. Ограбивший меня мужчина в ближайшие дни совершил нападение еще на одну женщину и был задержан. Я ходила в полицию на его опознание. Нападение на меня было снято на видеокамеру, установленную в находящемся на моей улице офисе одной фирмы, и против этого человека были убедительные улики. Он быстро сознался в преступлении. Завершение судебного процесса и приговор преступнику в виде более двух лет лишения свободы значительно облегчило мое состояние. Мое реальное восстановление началось только с этого момента.

LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF
Hello, friends. Let me first introduce1 myself. You know how difficult it is to tell much in a very short time. But I'll try hard so you'll have some idea who I am.
My name is Katya. My surname2 or last name is Ivashenko. I was born on the 13th of October in Sochi. This is the nicest city in the Russian Federation situated on the Black Sea coast. Now I am a first-year student3 at the Faculty of Psychology of Volgograd State Pedagogical University. I’m a full time student4 as you’ve already guessed.
Now let me describe5 my appearance6. I am tall and slim7 and have fair8 hair and blue eyes. My friends say that I am pretty. I love reading, theatre and classical music. My favourite9 composer is Tchaikovsky. I don't like ballet too much. But I like theatre and I am a theatre-goer10. I spend much if not all of my money on theatres and books.
I would like to tell you about my family. There are five people in our family. My father's name is Leonid Borisovich. He is a professor of biology. My mother's name is Natalya Yakovlevna. She works in a research institute11 and she is a historian by profession. My parents are very educated people but simple and easy to be with12. We are great friends with my parents and I can discuss everything with them.
My younger sister is still a pupil. Her name is Tanya and she is in the 7th form. But she is so tall that you can think that she is a school graduate13. She is very strong too. That is because she plays basketball. She doesn't like to study much and we argue14 sometimes about it. But we are good friends with my sister.
My grandmother, who is my mother's mother, lives with us. She is very kind and helps us a lot.
We also have a dog Dazy and a cat Murka. They fight sometimes, but usually they are friends and miss15 each other.
Our family is very friendly, we have many friends and relatives16.
In May I have finished school No. 5. I did well17 in all the subjects but my favourite subjects at school were Biology and English. I also enjoyed18 lessons of Mathematics. Quite unusual for a girl, don't you think? My father always wanted me to be a biologist, like him. But I want to work with people, not with animals. I want to understand people better. And of course it will help me to understand myself better too. Also, I think that psychology is a fast developing science19 and I will always have an interesting job.
As you see, my biography isn't very long yet. But we'll meet again in the next lesson and I'll tell you more about myself. See you later...
