                                    My Family
      Every family where everyone is responsible for its comfort, success in
work, health and good spirits must be a strong unit. We are all members of
society and family is the most important thing for each of us. The children
whose parents take proper care of them are very grateful to them either now
or afterwards when they become grown-ups.
      Now I want to tell you a few words about my family. I have got a
mother, a father, a sister and a brother. There are 5 of us in the family.
      First of all I’ll tell you some words about my parents. My mother is a
teacher of biology. She likes her profession very much. She is a good-
looking woman with fair hair. She is forty-five but she looks much younger.
She is not tall but slim. By character my mother is energetic and talkative,
while my father is a quiet and strong-willed man. He is very experienced.
My father is a broad –shouldered tall man with short black hair and grey
eyes. He is forty-six. My father often sings and when we are at home and
have free time I play the guitar and we sing together.
      My parents have been married for twenty-six years. They have much
in common, but they have different views on music, books, films and sports.
For example, my father likes horror films and my mother likes «soup
operas». She is so sensitive and tender. My father is fond of sports. But my
parents have the same opinion about our education and upbringing.
      My parents are hard-working people. My mother keeps house and
takes care of us. She is very good at cooking and she is clever with her
hands. She is very practical. We try to help her with the housework; for
example we wash the dishes, go shopping.
      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.
