Theme 2 Term I

Text: My family

My family is not big, but also is not small: Dad, Mom, me, my brother, and my sister. We live in Kiev. My Mum is forty-three, she is a dentist. My Dad is forty-five, he is a translator, and he works for a publishing house. My parents both like their work very much.

My name’s Anton, I’m fifteen. I go to gymnasium. My favourite lessons are English and Spanish. I like foreign languages as my Dad, so I want to be an interpreter. After school graduation I will enter Kiev Linguistic University.

My elder sister Katya is nineteen, she goes to the Kiev National University, and she wants to be an archeologist. She is fond of ancient history and archeology. In summer she goes to excavations of ancient towns, such as Olvia, Khersones and others.

My younger brother Sasha is eight years old, he goes to school. He likes spending time outdoors, playing computer games and watching TV.

My grandparents are retired. They spend a lot of their time in the garden, growing vegetables and fruits.

We have united family and always help each other. Everyone in my family is my best friend. I love my family very much.
