WHY I AM PROUD OF MY PARENTS.
Before I start speaking about my family let me introduce myself. I am Alex Petrov. I am seventeen. I have left school this year and I'm going to be a student. I was born in Sestroretsk, so it is my native town. I am not tall, dark-haired and blue-eyed young person. I like pop, rock and classical music. My hobbies are sport and reading. My family is not large but very friendly. I have got a father, a mother and a sister. I also have grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins.
First I am going to talk about my father. I am very proud of him because he is a sportsman. When he was young he was fond of sports, especially cycling and he decided to be a coach. Now he spends a lot of time with children, teaching them how to get good results and success riding a bicycle. He is a broad-shouldered, tall man with dark hair and grey eyes. His name is Alexander Ivanovich, he is forty-seven. He is very experienced and there are many pupils in his sportschool. There are even some sportsmen in his team who took part in Olympic Games. But we can hardly find him at home because he often has different competitions in other towns. When he is not busy we spend our time all together. We go to the Zoo, cinema, theatre or café. Now a few words about my mother. Her name is Alia Victorovna. She is three years younger than my father. She is a teacher of music at school. My mother is a pretty woman. She has fair hair and blue eyes. She is always elegant. She has a lot of work at school, but she tries to dedicate as much time as possible to me and my younger sister. My mother is very good at cooking and we help her with the housework. My sister Helen is 9. She is a schoolgirl. My mother spends much time with her. She is accurate and diligent. She has golden curly hair and blue eyes and she looks like my mother. We are good friends with my sister.
