OUR STUDENTS

          My name is Darina and I’m seventeen years old.  I’m from Veliko Turnovo, Bulgaria, but I live in Sliven, Bulgaria. My family is one of the greatest things I have in my life – they are always there for me. My mother is an English teacher and my father is an engineer. I like to spend my time with them. My friends are cool and are always there for me either we’re having fun or helping each other. In my free time I dance hip hop and street dances, I like reading book and listening to music or going out with my friends. My favourite kind of music is hip hop, rock and dubstep.

           
        My name is Nikol and I'm 15 years old. My hobbies are dancing, singing, acting and writing poems. Presently I am a mojourette. I danced  folk dances in the past as a cheerleader. Music helps me to express my feelings, problems, or just have fun. I have a little sister who also dances, but she prefers sport. My mother works as a chef and she has got green eyes and dark hair. My father works also as a chef and he has got blue eyes and brown hair. Now I study economics at High School of Economics and in future I think to develop in this direction. Music can unite people from many different nations. For this reason I want to travel outside Bulgaria to meet other people and get to know their culture. Music is a part of my life and I’m happy about this fact. 

        My name is Silvena. I’m 15 years old. I’m from Sliven, Bulgaria. I study in Professional High School of Economics in Sliven. My mother’s name is Mariana. She works as a system operator in the Police. My father’s name is Valentin. He works as a driver. I have an older brother, who is 20 years old. His name is Zhivko. He is a student. In my free time I go out with friends I love dancing, chatting and painting. I take part in a majorette group. I love everything connected with music. It makes our life more beautiful. I adore it.

         My name is Stephanie Encheva. I’m fifteen years old. I’m in Year 9. I study in a Professional   High School of Economics Professor Dr. Dimitar Tabakov in Sliven. I live in the city of Sliven. In my family we are 4 people. I have a little brother who is six years and his name is Emil. He goes to kindergarten. I love my family. I think I have the most wonderful family. My hobby is dancing. Dances just appeal to me. I have been dancing since I was five. I started in the kindergarten and in the 3^rd class I was enrolled in a ballet "Barbie" When was in the 8^th grade I started to dance for another ballet - "Grace." Dances describe grace showing the mental state of those who dance. They make me feel good and happy. When I'm mad about sth bad which happened to me, dancing comforts me. I step into another world where everything is beautiful and peaceful. At least for a moment, I forget everything negative. Dances must be performed with feeling if you want to achieve something and have good results. Dances fill me with life and energy. Besides dancing I love going out with friends, watching movies, chatting with friends in my free time. Sometimes I like to help at home with the household chores.
