Рубрика: 

My sister Helen is twenty-five. She is married and has a family of her
own. She works as an accountant for a bank. Her husband is a scientist. They
have got twins: a son and a daughter. They go to nursery school.
My brother Dmitry is eleven. He is a schoolboy. I think he takes after our
father. He also wants to become a specialist in computing but he is not sure yet.
He is fond of music and windsurfing.
I want to become a journalist. Now I study at the University and I like to
learn foreign languages. I look like my father – I’ve got his long nose and big
mouth – but I’ve got my mother’s personality. I am even-tempered and always
try to be in a good mood.
We have got a lot of relatives. We are deeply attached to each other and
we get on very well with all members of our extended family. Unfortunately, we
are very scattered and don’t see each other very often.
