MY FAMILY
Our family is not very large. I have a father, a brother and a sister. We all live together in a new flat in one of the industrial districts of Udmurtia.
My father Igor Ivanovich is 45 years old. He is a tall and well-built man with short black hair and grey eyes. He works at an automobile firm as an engineer. He likes his work and spends most of his time there. By character my father is a quiet man, while my mother is energetic and talkative. Her name is Olga Petrovna. She is a teacher of English and knows many foreign languages. My mother always has a lot of work to do about the house and at school. She is a busy woman and we all help her.
My sister's name is Alla. Like her mother Alla has blue eyes and lovely fair hair. She is a very good-looking girl. Alla is three years younger than me. She is a pupil of the 10th form. She does well at school and gets only good and excellent marks.
My name is Tanya. Last year I left school and entered the University.
Our family is very united. We like to spend time together. In the evenings we watch TV, read books and newspapers, listen to music or just talk about the events of the day. We often go to the village where our grandparents live. They are old-aged pensioners now but prefer to live in the country.
My grand-grandmother is still alive. She lives in my grandmother's family and is always glad to see us. She is in poor health and asks us to come and see her more often.
I also have many other relatives: uncles, aunts, cousins and many friends. We are happy when we are together.
