My Family

I am Alex Sidorov. Alex is my first name and Sidorov is my surname. I am seventeen years old.I want to tell you a few words about my family. My family is large. I’ve got a mother ,a father ,a sister, a brother and a grandmother.There are six of us in the family.

My mother is a teacher of is biology. She works in a college. She likes her profession. She is a good-looking woman with brown hair and green eyes. She is forty-four but she looks much younger. She is tall and slim.

My father is a computer programmer. He is very experienced. He is a broad-shouldered tall man with fair hair and grey eyes. He is forty-six. My father often sings and when we are at home and have some free time ,I play the guitar and we sing together .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. He’s got a few shelves where he keeps everything he needs. On the table there’s always a radio in pieces.

My parents have been married for twenty – six years. They have much in common, but they have different views on music, books and films. For example, my father likes horror films and my mother likes ‘soap operas’. My father is fond of tennis. My mother isn’t interested in sports. But my parents have the same opinion about my education and upbringing.

My parents are hard-working people. My mother keeps house and takes care of me and my father. She is very good at cooking and she is clever with her hands. She is very practical. My father and I try to help her with the housework. I wash the dishes, go shopping and tidy our flat.

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-five. She is married and has a family of her own. She works as an accountant for a small business company. Her husband is a scientist. They’ve got twins: a daughter and a son. They got to a nursery school.

My brother Boris is eleven. He is a schoolboy. He wants to become a doctor but he is not sure yet. Three months ago he dreamed of being a cosmonaut.

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

We’ve got a lot of relatives. We are deeply attached to each other and we get on very well.

My school

I’ve just left school and I’d like to tell you a few words about it. My school is one of the oldest specialized schools in Moscow. It’s famous for its high-quality education and strict discipline. The school is very well-equipped. On the ground floor there’s a gym, a canteen, a library and two workshops. On the first floor there’s a large assembly hall, a home economics room, a computer class and language laboratory. On the second floor there are physics, chemistry and biology labs.

I went to school five days a week. Classes began at nine o’clock in the morning. But I usually came to school ten minutes earlier. Each lesson lasted forty minutes. After three or four lessons we had a thirty-minute break. During this break we went to the canteen to have lunch. Every day we had 7 or8 lessons. The lessons were over at four o’clock in the afternoon.

We usually had a lot of homework and it took me several hours to do it. I sometimes had to sit up to write a composition, to learn a report, to translate a newspaper article from English into Russian learn a poem by heart.

After classes I didn’t usually go home right away. We had some out-of-class activities. Our social and cultural life was well-organized. For example, we had an orchestra, a choir, an arts club, an international Friendship Club. I took part in the drama club.

At school we had classes in Russian, Literature, Mathematics, Biology, Geography, Physics, Chemistry, English, History, Computer Programming. We also had Music, Physical Education, and information Technology.

My Favorite subject was English. I liked to learn new words, to dramatize text and dialogues. I liked it when we discussed something interesting to us, when we were taught to debate, when we had small-group discussion or set up a role ply.

But I wasn’t very good at chemistry. I always failed to learn formulas and terms properly. Maybe our chemistry teacher was too serious, too academic. She was not imaginative enough and her lessons were a little bit dull.

I like my class. I always felt at home there. Everybody was so friendly and easy to get along with. I was on good terms with my classmates and we often spent free time together.
