Conversation About Myself

I: We can start… #00:00:04# Here, I have a lot of question (R: OK), but we have a lot of time to do it without rush. Elizabeth, thanks again for meeting. And the first question: tell us about yourself.

R: Well… What am I doing, right? I was born in Moscow, I live in Moscow since birth. [00:30] Now I 'm studying at the university in the first year. That is, I 'm 18 years old. I 'm studying at Moscow State University on Biological faculty. I used to study biology before. When I was in school, I studied at the gymnasium with a biological profile, I also studied biology there for the last four years. Well, in general, study takes all my free time now. I do not have much time to do anything else.

[01:00] But so, in general, I 'm interested in

(R: Yes, please.)

[04:00] If you imagine your life as a journey, then what is that moment in the life in which you are now?

R: Now, it probably has not started yet.

I: Thank you. How important is your study to you?

R: For me it is very important, that is, it occupies one of the main places in my life, because I pay a lot of attention to this intellectual component of a person, not some other one.

[04:30] Therefore, development, education - this is very important for any person. Well, actually, why else should I live. Not only live, multiply, but it is necessary to develop, we need to learn something new, therefore ... Well, besides, in general I would like to do science, at least I would like, before I entered the university.

[05:00] Because somehow it does not work very well for us.

I: Then we 'll talk, I 'll ask you about it (R: Yes, yes.). Thank you. And leisure, free time? What you are doing?

R: I often spend time with my friends - I go to concerts.

I: What concerts do you visit? [05:30] Contemporary music?

R: Contemporary music.

I: It is understood, of course. And people in your life? What can you say? What people? Who is important to you, significant - family,

People who brought you up - it 's understandable that they are important. Well, friends, of course. Friends are also important for everyone. [06:00] I think, it is true for everyone.

I: I understand you. Two small questions on priorities in life, your priorities in life. Describe, please, how does your ideal life look like, how do you see yourself in ten years?

R: In fact, this is a difficult question, because, I 'm saying, now is the age when ... Last year I could not imagine my future, I knew that I would be engaged in science, engage in biology, and even develop myself except this, but in general I will be engaged in science.

[06:30] And now, when I entered the university, I realized that something was going wrong. Therefore, it is very difficult for me now to answer this question, but in any case I want to do something that would give me great pleasure.

I: I
