Sally Speaks Spanish, But Not Very Well

Sally speaks Spanish, but not very well.

When she tries to speak Spanish,

you really can't tell

what language she's speaking

or trying to speak.

The first time I heard her,

I thought it was Greek.

My Family.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Alexander, Alec for short. My full name is Alexander Sergeyevich Orlov. Orlov is my surname, Alexander is my first name and Sergeyevich is my patronymic. I am not yet nineteen.

At the moment I am a first-year student at the University.

My parents have two more children besides me. Thus I have got an older brother and a younger sister. My sister Helen is just out of school. She is seventeen. She is a pretty girl with brown hair and soft dark-brown eyes. Her dream is to become a pianist.

My brother, whose name is Michael, is eight years my senior. He is twenty-seven already. He is a builder. He is married and has a family of his own. They are four in the family. He has a wife and two children — a son and a daughter. They are twins. They are lovely little children with golden hair and dark-blue eyes. They are always full of iov and gaiety. His wife's name is Nina. She is a surgeon by profession. They are not in St. Petersburg. They are in the Far East.

My parents are not old at all. Father is fifty, and Mother is three years his junior. My grandparents are already pensioners but they are still full of life and energy. They have a house in the country. Aunt Mary is with them.

She is a pleasant-looking woman of about forty. Uncle Nick, her husband, is a librarian. He is a clever man but a little unpractical. Aunt Mary, on the other hand, is very practical and full of common sense.

They have a son. He is my cousin. Peter is nineteen, tall, and a fine manly fellow. He is at the University and is studying to be a chemist. He is a clever, hard-working student, a first-class footballer, and a good runner. He is strong, quiet and thoughtful like his father.
