MY FAMILY.

I am Max Kovaliov. I am sixteen. I have got a father, a mother, a sister and a grandmother. There are six of us in the family.

First of all some words about my parents. My mother is a teacher of history . She works in a college. She likes her profession. She is a born teacher. She understands her students and loves them.

My father is a computer programmer. He is very experienced. He is fourty - five. When we are at home and have some free time I play the guitar and my father likes to sing. He knows a lot of useful things. He can repair almost everything in the house. My parents have been married for twenty years. They are different but they understand and love each other. They have the same hobby - travelling. And they have the same opinion about my education and upbringing. They are hard working people. My granny is a pensioner. She lives with us and helps to run the house. You can hardly believe, but she is very active and energetic.

My sister is twenty- two. She is married and has her own family. She is an accountant.

I am a first - year student. I am going to become a mechanic.

We have a lot of relatives. We get on very well. I think our family is friendly and united.
