My Family

We are a typical Russian family. There are 4 of us: my mother, my father, my brother and me.

I am Sasha Ivanov. Sasha is my first name and Ivanov is my surname. I am fifteen years old.

My father is forty-five years old. He is an engineer. He works in the office of an engineering company. He is always busy. He has very little free time. He is very experienced. He is not very tall. His hair is fair. He has got grey eyes and very kind round face. He seems to me a handsome man.

My mother is a teacher of Russian literature. She works at college. She likes her profession. She is a good-looking woman with brown hair. She is slim.She is forty-four but she looks much younger.

My parents are hard-working people.

My brother Alex is eleven. He is a schoolboy. He wants to become a doctor but he is not sure yet.

I want to become a student. I’d like to be a computer programmer. I think I take after my father. I’m tall, fair-haired and even-tempered. I always try to be in a good mood.

At the week-ends we usually go to the country-side to ski in winter and to walk in the forest in summer. But most of all I like family holidays. We have got a lot of relatives. My aunts, uncles and cousins live in different parts of Moscow. On holidays they often come to our place. We have a very good time together. We get on very well, so we are a happy family.
