Let me introduce myself. I
am … . I am from … . I was born in … . I have been living in this town
since my childhood.
Now I am going to tell you about my family. We are a family of five.
We are friendly and getting all right.
My father is 45.He works as a surgeon in the hospital. He is
neither old nor young, a good looking man, handsome, rather thin with
dark hair just beginning to gray. He is a very sociable person. What I
don’t like about him is that he is always busy. He works overtime,
because he is the only bread-maker in our family. He is keen on tennis
and moreover he is fond of going to the country and to deal with our
country-cottage.
My mother is three years younger than he. She works as a teacher
in the nursery school. My mother is rather slim and pretty, she is
always elegant and smart. In short, she is a pleasant-looking woman of
about 40. Paying attention to the fact of her being a teacher, she has
got a great deal of work to do at home and at school. Sometimes it seems
to me that it’s an endless business! Shopping and cooking is nearly
half a day’s work for her. But my granny and I are in a habit of giving
her a helping hand about the house.
Boris is my older brother. He is 6 years elder than to me. So he
is 22 already. He has graduated from the University. He is an economist.
He is married and his wife is a journalist. They are three in the
family. They have got a child – my nephew. He is a small boy with golden
hair and dark brown eyes and a spirit that is always bright and happy,
but he is a little bit naughty.
And finally just a few words concerning my granny. To tell the
truth she is my best friend. She always listens to my endless stories
about friends and school life. She is on pension now. I must admit, she
is really an understanding person.
It’s a custom for our family to discuss things during the meals. I
must say that all of us are not alike in tastes, manners and
characters. But as a matter of fact we get along well with each other.
We usually show our interest in what others think and do. We share each
other’s joy and sorrow. We never remain indifferent to what happens to
others. We exchange our impressions on films or plays we have seen. We
are attentive and sincere to each other and all these things unite a
family. But we like humor and joking so we argue and tease each other.
It does not prevent us from being on friendly terms. Everybody is
grateful to our mother, because she keeps the house, she takes care of
everybody, she is kind and generous. We try our best to treat mother
most kindly.
