370My name is Martha Smith
My name is Martha Smith. I live with my family in a little village near London. Originally, I and my family come from America. I share a detached house with my husband, three children, my sister-in-law and her husband. Anyway, we have a quite big house with a wonderful garden. In the garden, we keep animals. We have pets and domestic animals such as turkeys, chickens, geese and ducks, too. In this beautiful garden, we have a wonderful flower-bed and a vegetable garden. In the house, there are three big bedrooms, a sitting-room, a little dining-room, a hall, a nice kitchen, a study, a bathroom with a toilet. In our house, we have got a lot of devices, for example, a washing-machine, a dishwasher, a modern microwave oven, an oven, a TV, a hi-fi set, an iron, a CD and a DVD-player. I really like our house as it is big, comfortable, modern and very beautiful. The walls are coloured, the house is decorated with pictures, photos, spot lights, potted flowers. I think it is very fantastic!
As for my job, I am the manager of a famous company in London. I usually get up at seven, I go to the bathroom, comb my hair, wash my face and teeth to be fresh. After that I go to the kitchen to make fine breakfast for my family. I normally make some delicious sandwiches with ham and cheese. I always start my work at eight am. At the work I am sometimes tired. I have a lot of things to do. After work at about 5 pm, I go home and help my children do their homework. I am good at Mathematics and Grammar so I can help them. In the evenings, I usually go for a walk with my little dog. At 8 pm, we eat something for dinner, for example, ham and eggs or cold cuts with bread and butter. We generally go to bed at about 10 pm after watching TV.
Would you like to know anything about my clothing habits? I like wearing casual clothes at home such as a tracksuit with trainers. However, when I work, I usually wear elegant pieces of clothes, for example, a costume with stockings and high-heel shoes. I use some make-up, too. I think I am a well-dressed woman. I am not overweight, but I am not slim at all. I believe I am quite tall for a woman. I have nice long curly ginger hair and green eyes. In my free time, I like reading, watching movies and doing the aerobics twice a week. Fortunately, I enjoy cooking. I can cook and bake very well. My family loves the food I make!
