Hi, let me introduce myself first. My name is Alice. I am 16 years old. I live in London, Great Britain. I would like to tell you some words about my family and myself.

I forgot to mention my grandmother. I love her a lot. She is retired. She doesn’t have to go to work any more, so she spends the most of her time with her cats. She has three cats and I like playing with them. I have a boyfriend; we started dating two months ago. He studies in my art college but he majors in modern art. We like to walk in the center of London when the weather is good. I can’t wait until I graduate from my art college and open my own gallery.

Tanya’s Story

Hello, my name is Tanya. I live in one of the most beautiful cities on the river Volga – Astrakhan. I am fifteen years old. A few words about my family. My father is forty – two, he is a professional artist, and he works for a design company.

My mother is forty-one; she is a teacher of German in the University. She was born to be a teacher. My mom is very beautiful, people say we look alike. My parents like their work very much. I have a younger brother Denis, he is ten. He is a schoolboy. I like to spend my free time teaching him something.

I go to the Astrakhan College of Building and Economy, I major in architecture. I decided to study there because I like the future profession I will be given. Sometimes it’s hard for me to study there, but I do my best to become a good specialist. When I have free time, I play computer games or go for a walk with my friends.

My family is very friendly. I hope some day I will become a good specialist and have as good family of my own as the one I have now.
