I want to tell you about my dad. It is very beautiful, courageous, kind. In the school year, dad was not very good,but now he knows a lot, thanks to his efforts and zeal for knowledge. I always listen to him with great interest. Dad is a handyman and home if something breaks, he fixes things, not postponing. Almost all the free time he spends with family. Many friends, and not only say that I look like my dad. He had a large straight nose with a small hump and kind green eyes, tall. Dad has short cropped dark blonde hair. When I was little, I always joked that my dad has hair like needles of a hedgehog. Dad's voice is very soft and calm. I am surprised that even in difficult situations dad always remained calm. My dad works as a printer, but apart from work, he finds time for his hobby - wine. In our garden a few dozen different delicious varieties. I am very proud of dad and I love him, and I'm glad I'm like him.
