Text A
What is a family? I think it's a small society with its laws, customs and traditions. As a fact any family has its head. Every family has its own budget and, of course, all members of the family have certain rights and duties. If there is mutual understanding in the family and if duties are fulfilled well, this society can be quite happy.
My family consists of five people: Mother, Father, my elder sister, my younger brother and me. We live in the ancient town of Polotsk in a new flat of three rooms, which we got last year. We like our town and our new flat. My father's name is Vladimir. He is fifty and he is a surgeon. He works in the children's hospital. To tell the truth, it's difficult for me to see him very often even on weekends, as he is always very busy with his work. He is a loving father and often gives us presents. We love him very much, too. Father is the real head of our family. He also takes care of our health, especially when we spend holidays in the country. In summer we often go on tramps, wander through forests and occasionally go for a swim in the lake. As my father is fond of music, he takes a tape-recorder with him or his guitar. He can play the guitar very well, but he can't afford it very often. I am always glad to see my father at home.

It's my mother who keeps the house. She knows what we need very well and tries to meet our needs. She is forty-six and she is a bookkeeper. Her hobby is knitting. We all wear sweaters made by her. She is also a loving mother, and I like to share my secrets with her.
My sister is a student of the Polotsk Polytechnic Institute. She is four years older than I am and is an undergraduate now. She is leaving the Institute next year and is going to become an economist. She thinks it's the most necessary profession for our country. She also has a hobby. Her hobby is playing chess. My sister can also play the piano very well. I often play chess with her and she sometimes plays the pieces of classical music by Sviridov, Tchaikovsky, Rakhmaninov and other famous composers. My brother is a schoolboy. He is in his fourth year at school now, so he is seven years younger than I am. I often play chess with him, but he can't play chess very well. His hobby is football and he is going to become a professional player.
