About Myself and My Family

Before I start talking about my family let me introduce myself. I am Sveta Petrenko. I am 17. I left school in June. I was born in Kyiv, and I have been living in Kyiv since my childhood.

And now I am going to tell you about my family. We are a family of five. We think we are a large and friendly family. So we are happy to be living together and are getting on all right.

To begin with, I am going to talk about my father. His name is Serhiy, he is 45. He works as a surgeon at a hospital. He is neither old, nor young. He is a good-looking man, handsome, rather thin with dark brown hair just beginning to go grey. He is a very sociable person. What I don't like about my dad is that he is always busy. Very often he works overtime. He is a breadwinner in our family. He is fond of going to the country at weekends, because he enjoys working in the garden.

My mother's name is Halyna. She is three years younger than my father. She works as a teacher at a nursery school. My mother is rather slim and pretty, she is always elegant and smart. In short, she is a pleasant-looking woman of about 40. She always has a lot of work to do both at school and about the house. She is fond of her work and spends a lot of time there. But she has to cook the food for the whole family at home. Shopping and cooking is nearly half a day's work for her. But my granny and I are in the habit of helping her about the house.

Boris is my elder brother. He is six years senior to me. So he is 23 already. He has graduated from university and he is an economist by profession now. Boris is married. His wife is a journalist. They have got a child, my nephew. He is a lovely little boy of two with golden hair and dark brown eyes and a spirit that is always bright and happy, full of joy and gaiety.

And finally a few words about my granny. To tell you the truth, she is my best friend. She always listens to my endless stories about my friends and my school life. She is retired now but in her youth and her older age she worked as a teacher in school. I must admit, she is a very understanding person.

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