my week and strong sides one of my strong points, i could get alone almost with any one. i am very friendly,like to socialize and i think, i can understand and relate to people's problems. i like to work in the team, like to do my home work with my friends. on the other hand i am very talkative . i am getting in trouble in school because of that all the time. i do like to talk to people, and it is hard for me to stop, even during the class. another good side of mine is that i am very fast. i can finish everything in no time , but because of that i leave everything for the last minute. 

so it looks to me that all my weak points are coming from my strong points . am i too good, that is why i am a little bad ; ) ? yes and the last point- i absolutely do not know how to criticize myself : ).

одно из моих достоинств- моё умение сходится с любыми людьми. и дружелюбный, люблю общаться и я думаю я умею понимать и сочувствовать их проблемам. я люблю работать в команде, люблю делать с друзьями. сдругой стороны я болтливый. у меня проблемы в школе из за эого. я люблю разговаривать с людьми, и мне тяжело остановится даже во время урока. другая моя положительная сторона я быстрый. я могу закончить любую работу за короткий срок, но из за этого я оставляю всё на последнюю минуту. мне кажется, во всех моих слабостях виноваты мои сильные стороны : ). я слишком хороший, поэтому немного плохой. да и последняя слабость - я совсем не умею себя критиковать :
