There are five of us in the family. I have got a mother, a father, an elder brother and a younger sister. First of all, I would like to tell you about myself.

I am in the eighth grade. I like to read historical novels and listen to pop music. My elder brother is a school-leaver, he is seventeen years old. This year he is going to enter the Academy of Music. He plays the piano and guitar very well.

My younger sister’s name is Kate. She is five years old, she goes to the kindergarten, likes to draw and dance. I like to spend my free time with her.

My mother’s name is Elena. She is a teacher of the English language. She works at school and likes her profession very much. She is forty years old and she looks very good.

My father’s name is Vladimir. He is forty-five years old. He is a surgeon. He is a very responsible and hardworking person. He works a lot and he is busy all the time. We are proud of him, because every day he saves lives of people.

We always go to the village to our grandparents during summer holidays. There is a lake there and we swim in it. We also play badminton, go fishing and in the evening we get together, drink tea, talk and laugh.

My family is very friendly and united. I love it and I am proud of it.
