What’s more, the girl can bake casseroles, but she doesn’t like baking cakes. Lisa is very serious about her future. First she wants to get a profession of a cook, then to study for being a food technologist. She adores humanity subjects like history, languages and literature. In addition, the girl likes physics and astronomy.

As a hobby she prefers playing volleyball, knitting, embroidering, beading and reading. Her favourite authors are T. Shevchenko, J. Goethe and L. Ukrainka. There are always some books on her bed-side table. The girl believes that the most important qualities for people are warm-heartedness, sociability, outgoingness and kindness. Lisa is sure that a woman mustn’t drink alcohol or smoke, that a woman always keeps clean and tidy in her apartment, takes care of her relatives and is ready to help. The girl believes that a family is a real happiness. She is dreaming of having a family. And we believe that this smiley girl will also find her family!
