MY FAMILY
I am Ivan Sidorov. Ivan is my first name and Sidorov is my surname. I am
seventeen years old.I have finished school with gold medal and entered the
Grodno Medical University this year. Now I am a first year student of the
Faculty of General Medicine. I think I take after my father. I’m tall, fair-haired
and even-tempered. I always try to be in a good mood.
I want to tell you a few words about my family. My family is large. I have
got a mother, a father, a sister, a brother and a grandmother. There are six of us
in the family.
First of all, some words about my parents. My mother is a teacher of
Biology. She works in a college. She likes her profession. She is a good-looking
woman with brown hair. She is forty-four but she looks much younger. She is
tall and slim.
My father is a computer programmer. He is very experienced. He is a
broad-shouldered, tall man with fair hair and grey eyes. He is forty-six. My
father often sings and when we are at home and have some free time, I play the
guitar and we sing together. My father knows all about new radio sets and likes
to repair old ones. He is also handy with many things.
My parents have been married for twenty-six years. They have much in
common, but they have different views on music, books, films, sports. For
example, my father likes horror films and my mother likes «soap operas». My
father is fond of tennis. My mother doesn’t go in for sports. But my parents have
the same opinion about my education and upbringing.
My parents are hard-working people. My mother keeps the house and
takes care of me and my father. She is very good at cooking and she is clever
27
with her hands. She is very practical. My father and I try to help her with the
housework. I wash the dishes, go shopping and tidy our flat.
My grandmother is a pensioner. She lives with us and helps to run the
house. She is fond of knitting.
My sister Helen is twenty-five. She is married and has a family of her
own. She works as an accountant for a joint venture company. Her husband is a
scientist. They have got twins: a daughter and a son. They go to a nursery
school.
My brother Boris is eleven. He is a schoolboy. He wants to become a
doctor but he is not sure yet. Three months ago he dreamed of being a
cosmonaut.
We have got a lot of relatives. We are deeply attached to each other and
we get on very well.
