Exercise 1: Read and translate the text, learn the active vocabulary:
Let me introduce myself and my family
I am Nikita Kuznetsov. Im 17 years cold. I was born on the 5th of May in 1993. This year I have finished school No 1 in Astrakhan and entered the Astrakhan State Technical University. Now Im a student of the Mechanical faculty. I always did well at school and studied with great pleasure. My favourite subjects at school were Mathematics, Literature and History. Im fond of reading books about history and Im fond of sports. Ive got the first category in volleyball and I have many friends among sportsmen.
Now I want to tell you a few words about my family. My family is large. Ive got a mother, a father, a sister, a brother, and a grandmother. There are six of us in the family.
I think I take after my father. Im tall, fair-haired and even-tempered. I always try to be in a good mood.
We have got a lot of relatives. We are deeply attached to one another and we get on very well. We try to spend Sundays together as a family day. Our relatives often join us for tea or sometimes for dinner.
First of all, some words about my parents. My mother is a teacher of history. She works in a college. She likes her profession. She is a good-looking woman with brown hair. She is forty-seven but she looks much younger. She is tall and slim.
My father is a computer programmer. He is very experienced. He is broad-shouldered, tall man with fair hair and grey eyes. He is forty-nine. My father often sings and when we are at home and have some free time I play the guitar and we sing together. My father knows all about new TV sets and likes to repair old ones. He is also handy with many things.
My parents are hard working people. My mother keeps the house and takes care of all of us. She is very good at cooking and she is clever with her hands. She is very practical. My father and I try to help her with the housework. I wash the dishes, go shopping and tidy up our flat.
My grandmother is retired. She lives with us and helps to run the house. She likes to knit.
My elder sister Helen is twenty-four. She is married to a nice man and has a family of her own. They live in Moskow and rent a flat there. She works as an accountant for a joint stock company. Her husband Aleksey, 29, is a scientist and works in the Russian Academy of Sciences. He is a Candidate of Science and he will become a Doctor of Science in a year. They have got twins: a daughter and a son. Their children go to a nursery school.

My younger brother Sergey is eleven. He is a schoolboy of the sixth form. He wants to become a doctor but he is not sure yet.
As for me, I like to spend my free time with my friends. I have many friends and I have a steady girl-friend. I think my friends are very good and we do everything what is interesting for young people talk, dance, listen to music. In fine weather we like to be out of town. We find a nice place somewhere on the bank of the river. We lie in the sun, play different games and swim. In winter my friends and I often go to the skating-rink, we like to skate and also to ski. At weekends we like to go to the cinema, we like films about adventures. On the way home we usually discuss the films weve seen.
As you see, my biography is not long but Id like to say that Im very happy to be a student and I hope Ill become a good specialist after graduating from the University, Ill get a well-paid and interesting job and justify the hopes of my parents.
