MY
FAMILY
I
think it is very important that you have a family because you are
learning so many things. You learn to live with other people, you
learn to share things, and you learn to show consideration for
someone. I just can't live without my family.
Family
is the highest school of education. Family is where you can find your
best and closest friends. Members of a family take care of each
other. They are always ready to help even if they have to change
their personal plans.
Now
I am going to tell you about my family. We are a family of five. We
are friendly.
My
father is 45.He works as a surgeon in the hospital. He is a
middle-aged, good looking man, handsome, rather thin with dark hair
just beginning to gray. He is a very sociable person. He enjoys being
with other people. What I don’t like about him is that he is always
busy. He works overtime, because he is the only bread-winner 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 is. 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. 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 always help her about the house.
Boris
is my elder brother. 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
he is always happy and talkative, but a little 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.
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 we get along well with each other.
