My Family (топик на английском)  

MY FAMILY
I want to tell you about my family. It is not very big. I have got a mother, a father and a brother.
My mother's name is Elena. She is 42. She is a teacher of English. She works at Moscow City Pedagogical University. She is a very good teacher, students like her a lot. My mother likes reading books and magazines and she knows a lot of interesting things. She is always ready to help me with my homework if I have problems.
My father's name is Eugenij and he is 44 years old. He is an architect. He works for a construction firm. He is very good at Maths and Physics. He draws schemes and plans of buildings and I like to look at them. My father is also very good at sport. I like to go skiing and
play football with him! My father cooks well too. He always makes up new dishes and they are very tasty.
My elder brother Dmitry is 21. He is a student already and he studies in Moscow State University. He is in his fourth year. He is going to be an economist. Sometimes he helps me with my homework when he has time, but he doesn't like doing it. He says that I must study myself. I also like to go jogging with him in the morning. I think my brother is very nice. I like talking and discussing different things with him. He also plays the guitar very well and sometimes we sing together.
My grandparents live in the country. Every summer we go there to visit them. I like my grandparents and their village. My grandmother Anna is 65. She bakes wonderful pancakes. My grandfather is 67. In the country I usually swim and sunbathe. My parents and my brother join me. We usually go to the forest together and pick up berries and mushrooms.
I love my family very much. I think it's the best in the world.
