ABOUT MYSELF AND MY FAMILY
Let me introduce myself. My name is Olga Smirnova, Olya for short. I was
called after my grandmother. I was born on the 12th of May, 2006 in Brest, and have
been living there since my childhood. Now I am seventeen years old. This year I have
finished school and entered Grodno State Medical University. It was not easy to
become a student, but I did all my best to do it. At school I was good at Chemistry
and Biology, they were my favorite subjects. I was also interested in Physics and
Languages. Now I am a student of the medical university, the Faculty of Pediatrics.
I descend from the family of doctors. My parents and teachers at school advised me
to become a doctor firstly to continue our family occupation, secondly because I have
always given my preference to natural sciences. The life of a medical student is not
easy; we have to study a lot. So, I don’t have much time for my hobbies and interests.
But when I have some free time. I go swimming at the swimming pool and watch
videos. I like sport very much. I go in for basketball and always take part in sports
competitions at our university. I am also fond of reading interesting books. Among
my favorite writers are Charles Dickens and Mark Twain. As for my character,
my friends find me very energetic and cheerful. But my parents consider me absentminded. I think I take after my grandmother in character; she is very optimistic and
joyful. It is quite natural because we are family members. Now I’d like to tell you a
few words about my family. My family is an average sized Belarusian family:
it consists of my father, mother, elder brother and me. So we are a family of four.
I'd like to start with my parents. I have got a father and a mother. Their names are
Sergey Ivanovich and Marina Petrovna. My parents have been married for twentyfive years. This year we are celebrating their silver wedding. My father is 49 years
old; he is a man of character. He is a very handsome, sporty, tall man with fair hair
and green eyes. People say I take after my father in appearance. As for his character,
he is very serious and reliable. He is always ready to help everyone: both the family
and his patients. He works as a surgeon in the regional hospital. In his free time he
likes fishing and hunting. I love my father very much.
My mother is 2 years younger than my father. She is in her late forties but she
looks young for her age. My mother is a pretty, slender woman of medium height.
She has long brown hair and blue eyes. My mother is a very kind and caring woman,
she is always very busy with her work and has a lot to do about the house. But all
family members try to help her. My mother works in the children’s hospital, she is a
pediatrician. I want to treat children as well. My parents have much in common, but
10
they have different interests, hobbies, points of view on sports and music. For
example, my father is fond of sports and my mother doesn't go in for sport at all. She
is a great home-sitter. She keeps the house and takes care of the family. She is very
good at cooking and she is clever with her hands. But my parents have the same
opinion about the education and upbringing of their children. They are good
specialists as well. Both of them are real medical professionals. Now I'm going to tell
you a couple of words about other members of our family. Besides me, my parents
have got one more child. It is my elder brother. His name is Oleg. He is twenty-three.
He is married and has a family of his own. His wife is a teacher. Oleg has graduated
from the university and works as an economist. We have much in common with my
brother but we are quite different as well. My brother is fond of exact sciences and
I am good at natural sciences. But we both like sport and books. We are happy to
have grandparents. They are old now and live in the country near Brest. But we never
forget to visit them regularly and help them about the house. We also have a lot of
relatives. My aunts, uncles and cousins live far from us, in different cities of Belarus.
On big holidays they come to visit us and we have a very good time together. So we
are a happy family and we are getting on well together. Our family is very united. We
help each other in difficult situations and discuss all family problems together. We
like to spend our free time together and organize family celebrations. I am not
married yet, but I would like to have similar relationships in the family of my own.
