1. Read the text and translate it using a dictionary. My family

As you know, I'm Ann Kovalchuk, and I'm a first-year student at the Kyiv National University of Technologies and Design. Now I'm glad to introduce my family to you.

We are a family of five. We think we are a large and friendly family. So, we are happy to be living together and getting on all right.

To begin with, I'm going to talk about my grandmother on my mother's side. My granny is the eldest person in our family. Her name is Victoria, and she is seventy. She is retired now, but she used to work as an English teacher. I must admit, she's a very understanding person and there is no such problem as 'generation gap' between us. She helps my parents and me in all our daily routine. Nevertheless, she is seventy, she is very lively and active.

My father is Vadym. He is forty-five. He is a footwear designer for the Ukrainian-Italian joint venture. He is always busy, and he is sometimes away on business trips to many cities in Ukraine and abroad. My father spends all his time and efforts trying to solve the problems of Ukrainian shoe-making industry.

My mother's name is Helen. She is two years younger than my father. She is a very talented clothes designer. It was my mother who taught me how to make beautiful dresses, skirts, trousers, jackets and so on. She has been a designer for eighteen years since she graduated from the Kyiv Technological Institute of Light Industry. My mother is acquainted with many famous Ukrainian and some foreign designers and couturiers. They are Lilia Pustovit, Olexander Gapchuk, Mykhailo Voronin, Sonya Rickel, J-P Gaultier. My mother has got a dream to create a Fashion House and work there with me and other young designers and graduates from the university. I help her dream come true.

And finally a few words about my elder brother, Peter. He is three years senior to me. He is keen on computers and programming. So, they are his cup of tea. Peter is also a student of my university. If he has some free time, he always helps me with my studies. Though we are very different, we have much in common, we have common interests, friends and so on. He is my best friend.

To put it into a few words, we are a united and friendly family.
