Текст Б. My family
When I say 'my family' I mean my mother, father, my younger brother and my grandmother, my mum's mother. Of course I have other relatives as well. For example, my dad's sister, aunt Lucy, who lives in Tula; her children, Igor and Rita, are my cousins, and they are my dad's nephew and niece.
My dad is in business. Their firm deals in modern computers and calculators. He often goes on business trips. My mum is a designer by education. She works in a large construction company. When they work on some new project, we see very little of her. My younger brother Misha is six years old. He goes to a preparatory class at school. He is not very tidy boy by nature, and I keep telling him not to litter or to put away his things.
My grandma lives with us. We all love her and I am sure that she loves all of us too. When mum is busy at work, I help my grandma to clean the flat and to cook meals for the whole family.
Sometimes in the evening we all gather together at table and discuss the events of the day.
