My Family
I am Hafizov Artem. Artem is my name and Hafizov is my surname. I am seventeen years old. I want to tell you a few words about my family. My family is not large. I have got mother, father and grandmother. We spend much time together, go for a walk in the woods, visit theaters, museums, go to the cinema.
My mother is a teacher of biology. She likes her profession. She is a good-looking woman with brown hair. She is 47 but she looks much younger.
My father is computer-programmer. He is forty-eight. My father often sings and when we are at home and have some free time I play the guitar and we sing together. When he was small he liked to take everything to pieces. My grandmother told me a story that one day my father tried to repair their kitchen clock but without success. They had to give it to a repairman. But it happened a long time ago. Now he can fix almost everything.
My grandmother is a pensioner. She lives with us and helps to run the house. She is fond of knitting.
I want to become a student. I’d like to learn foreign languages. I always try to be in a good mood. I have my duties about the house. I must go shopping, clean the rooms. It's not difficult for me. I like our home to be clean and tidy. I think home is the nicest place.
