MY FAMILY

Let me introduce myself. I am Alex Smirnoff. Alex is my first name and Smirnoff is my surname. I am twenty. I want to tell you a few words about my family. My family is large. I have got a mother, a father, a married sister, and a grandmother. There are six of us in the family. Some words about my parents. My mother is a teacher of biology. She works in a college. She likes her profession. She is a good-looking woman with brown hair. She is forty-four but she looks much younger. My father is a computer programmer. He is very experienced. He is a tall man with fair hair and grey eyes. He is forty-six. My father knows all about new radio sets and likes to repair old ones. He is also handy with many things. When he was small, he liked to take everything to pieces. My grandmother told me a story that once my father tried to "repair" their kitchen clock. He managed to put all the wheels and screws back again — but the clock did not work. They had to give it to a repairman. But that happened a long time ago. Now he can fix almost everything: a vacuum cleaner, a washing machine, a fridge and what not. My parents have been married for twenty-three years. They have much in common but they have different views on music, books, films, sports. For example, my father likes horror films and my mother likes "soap operas". My father is fond of tennis. My mother doesn't go in for sports. But my parents have always had the same opinion about me, my education and upbringing. My grandmother is a pensioner. She lives with us and helps to run the house. She is fond of knitting. My sister Helen is twenty-one. 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. He is seven years older than my sister. They have got twins: a daughter and a son. They are so cute. I really do love them. We have got a lot of relatives. We are deeply attached to each other and we get on very well.
