Family Matters
I want to tell you about my family.
My family is rather big. I have got a mother, a father, an elder
sister, a grandfather and a grandmother.
My mother's name is Irina. She is a teacher of English in one of
Moscow schools. She is a very good specialist and has achieved a
lot in her profession. My mother likes sewing and reading
fashion magazines. I am always ready to help her with house
chores, because I know that teaching profession is very
difficult and I should make sure that my mother has some free
time after the school.
My father's name is Alexei. He is a wonderful designer. He works
for a big publishing house. I love looking at his works!
Sometimes I give him advice on the colours or pictures and he
appreciates my opinion. My father is also very good at composing
music. It is so interesting to watch him writing music.
My elder sister's name is Elena. She is a student of the 4th
year at Moscow Financial University. Elena is going to be an
accountant. Sometimes she helps me with my Maths homework when
she has time, but she says that I must study myself to achieve
good results in future. My sister likes going to a gym and she
keeps fit.
My grandparents, Vera and Vladimir, live in a separate flat.
They do not work now, because they are retired. My grandmother
used to work as an engineer at a big car factory and my
grandfather is a professor: he used to teach students at Moscow
State University. He is a specialist in Russian history and
culture. Sometimes he still writes articles for specialised
journals and he knows so many interesting things! Every week I
go to visit them and always help them with shopping.
I love my family and I am so happy that we are all together!
