My Family-2

Let me introduce myself. My name is Irene, Ira for short. My full name is Irina Petrovnalvanova. On the tenth of September I'll be seventeen. I think I'll invite my classmates to the birthday party and we'll have a good time.

My family is not very large: my father, my mother and myself. My mother's name is Marina Pavlovna. She is 40. My mother is good-natured and cheerful. She teaches French. She's devoted to her work. Once I attended one of her classes. The children read and spoke French, wrote a little, sang and played games a lot. She is very fond of her work and often tells me about it. She works hard and knows the French language well. My mother also keeps the house for us. Even though we all try to-help her, she has a lot of work to do about the house.

My father's name is Pyotr Andreevich. He is a strong handsome man of middle age. My father is an architect, he works hard at his office. At home he helps my mother, he also takes care of his elderly parents. I love my parents and grandparents very much; we are on friendly terms.

I'm an only child. I have no brothers and sisters. I'm leaving school this year. I did a lot of subjects at school. I also learned English. I am fond of English and I work hard to master it. I'm going to take my entrance examinations to the local University. My dream is to know several foreign languages.

We live in a town not far from Moscow. Some of our relatives live close by, including my grandparents, who are on pension now, aunt and uncle and their children, my cousins.

We try to spend Sundays together as a family day. Our relatives often join us for tea or sometimes for dinner. At the week-end we go to the cinema, sometimes we visit a museum or an exhibition. In summer we like to travel.
