My family Our family is large. We are the family of seven: my mother, my father, my grandmother, my grandfather, my sister, my brother and I. My mother's name is Tatyana. She is 37 years old. She is a teacher. She is a very nice, kind and clever woman. My father's name is Pavel. He is 40 years old. He is a worker. He is tall and strong. He is a man of strong character - and all of us love him very much. My grandmother's name is Elena Petrovna. She is 60 years old. She does not work now, she is a pensioner, but she has a lot of work to do about the house. All of us try to help her.
My grandfather's name is Peter Ivanovich. He is 65 years old. He is a pensioner too. My brother and sister are students. Their names are Ivan and Masha. They are older than me. We are a very good family. We love each other very much. In the evenings, when all the members of our family get together after work and study, we like to watch TV, to read books and newspapers, to talk about different things and to discuss all our problems together. When the weather is good we sometimes go for a walk. We have a small house in the country with a garden. There is much work there and on weekends we go there and work and have rest all together.
My working day I get up at 7 o'clock in the morning. I do my morning exercises, wash myself and dress. Then I sit down to breakfast. At 8 o'clock I leave home and go to the Institute. As a rule I come to the Institute at a quarter to 9. The lessons begin at 9 sharp.
Today we have two lectures, a seminar and an English lesson. At our English lessons we read the texts, ask and answer questions and do all sorts of exercises. We do not write many exercises. We usually write exercises at home. We speak English at the lessons. We speak English a little now, but we want to speak English well.
At about 1 o'clock I generally have dinner at the canteen. I come home at about 6 o'clock. I have supper and do my homework. I always do my homework in the evening, but I never work late in the evening. At 11 o'clock I go to bed.
