2. Чтение и перевод текста “Моя семья”.

My name is Valentina. I am 15. I was born in Moscow. I am neither tall nor short. My friends say that I am thin. My hair is fair and short. My face is oval, my nose is short and turned-up. My eyes are large and blue. My parents say that I am a pretty girl. I am a polite girl. I try to be a kind, honest and serious person.

I study at school. I would like to say that I am good at many subjects. I like English and History best of all. I like to read English books and learn easy poems and songs. My hobby is swimming. I go to the swimming-pool twice a week.

Our family consists of my parents, my sister and me. We live in Moscow, on Lyublinskaya street. I can say that our family is small, and we love each other very much.

My mother’s name is Marina Vladimirovna. She is 37. She is a teacher. She is a very nice woman. My father’s name is Konstantin Ivanovich. He is a pilot. I am sure he is a skilled pilot. My father is a very clever and kind man. I have a small sister. Her name is Luda. I like to take care of her. Sometimes we read funny stories, sometimes I go for a walk with my sister. Luda is fond of drawing. She spends a lot of free time drawing trees, streets, flowers and animals.

All the members of our family have their own hobbies. But we like to spend our weekends together. We go to the forest. In summer we gather berries and mushrooms, in winter we prefer to be closer to nature and spend some free time in the country. We have a small comfortable house and a nice garden near it.
