My family isn't large. Besides my parents I have an elder sister whose name is Irina. She is 19 and she is a student of the institute. She can play the piano very well but she can't speak English as her friend can. I am Masha. I am 13 and I am a student of the secondary school. I am not very tall but I am not short either. I like skating and reading. But I can't play chess as my father can. My mother's name is Inna Vasilievna. She is 39 and she is a nurse in our hospital. My mother is very pretty and kind. She can draw very well but she can't play the piano as my Granny and my older sister. My father's name is Ivan Petrovich. He is 42 and he is a driver in the same hospital. My father is very strong and strict. He likes to play chess but he can't draw as well as our mother can/. Our granny doesn't live with us, but she lives not far from our house so I often come to see her on Sundays. We are a friendly family and we try to get along with each other and try to discuss our problems and to solve them together.
Моя семья небольшая. Кроме моих родителей у меня есть старшая сестра, чье имя Ирина. Ей 19, и она учится в институте. Она хорошо умеет играть на пианино,но не умеет говорить по-английски как ее подруга. Я Маша. Мне 13 лет, и я учусь в средней школе. Я не очень высокая, но я не маленькая. Я люблю кататься на коньках и читать. Но я не умею играю в шахматы как мой отец. Мою маму зовут Инна Васильевна. Ей 39 лет, и она работает медсестрой в нашей больнице. Моя мама очень красивая и добрая. Она умеет хорошо рисовать, но не умеет играть на пианино как моя бабушка и моя старшая сестра. Моего отца зовут Иван Петрович. Ему 42 года, и он работает водителем в той же больнице. Мой отец очень сильный и строгий. Он любит играть в шахматы? но не умеет так хорошо рисовать как мама. Наша бабушка не живет вместе с нами, но она живет не далеко от нашего дома, поэтому я часто прихожу к ней по воскресеньям. Мы дружная семья, и мы стараемся ладить друг с другом, мы обсуждаем наши проблемы и стараемся решить их вместе.
At the present I go to school, so I'm very busy on weekdays. Because of this, unfortunately, I can't help in the house as often as my parents wish. However, I do my best to find the time to clean house.Every morning I get up and without any loss of time, I do my bed and go to the bathroom. Yawning, I wash my face, then I brush my teeth and go to have breakfast. After breakfast, I always wash the dishes myself after me and my family, because my mom and dad leave for work before me. They have no time to wash the dishes.At 8 o'clock sharp, I make my way to the school and at 4 on the dot I come back home. On my return, I cook something easy so that I might eat, and then I get down to the lessons. Lessons take me from half an hour to two hours a day. It all depends on how much homework our teacher gives to us. Then I put all the books and notebooks into place and start cleaning my room. Every day I dust. Every other day I vacuum. Sometimes in the evening we go shopping together with dad.From time to time, I help my mom wash, iron and do spring cleaning. But this happens not quite often. On the weekend I rest, meet friends, play in the yard and in the park across the street. She often gets angry with me for this, so I try to study well and make her happy making good progress in studies.
