My name is Tanya Muglova and I’m 25
years old. I’m from Sofia in Bulgaria. I’m
good at languages. I can speak Bulgarian
and Russian and a little English and
German. I love music and I can play the
piano. I like singing, too. I love cooking for
my friends. In the winter I go skiing in the
mountains near Sofia and in the summer I
go to the Black Sea. I enjoy being with my
family and friends. In the future I’m going to
get a job in England because I want to be
an English teacher.

My name is Tanya Muglova and I’m 25
years old. I’m from Sofia in Bulgaria. I’m
good at languages. I can speak Bulgarian
and Russian and a little English and
German. I love music and I can play the
piano. I like singing, too. I love cooking for
my friends. In the winter I go skiing in the
mountains near Sofia and in the summer I
go to the Black Sea. I enjoy being with my
family and friends. In the future I’m going to
get a job in England because I want to be
an English teacher.
