Using System is not necessary. You can define it at class level so you don't have to use it. And be careful with a capital S in 'String' 

// libraries
using System;
// namespace definition
namespace whatevernamespace
{
// class definition
class abc
 {
// method definition
 static void main()
  {
// I/O variable definition
 string firstName = Console.ReadLine();
  }
 }
}
