Okay, so I was born in Tarragona, a small town not far from Barcelona in 1977.

I had a
very happy childhood there with my brother and my parents, and then I when I was about
eleven years old my father got (get) a new job and we moved to Barcelona, where I’ve lived
ever since. I went (go) to secondary (средняя) school there … and then I studied (study)
tourism for three years at university. After that I spent some time unemployed (безработной)
looking for a job and doing a few temporary (временный) jobs and then I finally got a job in a
travel agency, which is what I have wanted (want) to do. So, I have been working (work) there
for about three months now. What else? I’ve got a boyfriend, Pablo, who I have known (be,
have) (know) since I was at school. I think we met (meet) when I was about sixteen. Actually we
are engaged (обручены) now. We got engaged in January, and we are planning (plan) to get
married next year, hopefully, when we’ve got a bit more money. And apart from that (кроме
этого еще), my favourite hobbies are skiing, which (который) I have been doing (do) since I
was a child and learning foreign languages. As well as Catalan and Spanish (как … и ….) , I speak
(speak) French and English, because of course they are both very important for my job. I think I
speak English better. I have been learning (learn) it for about nine years, so I should speak good
English! I have been (be) to Britain a couple of times, and also once to the United States … so
it’s something I really enjoy.
