My family
There is a saying that if you want something to be done well, do it yourself. So, I am following this wise saying and would like to introduce myself.
My first name is Katya, my family name is Smirnova.
But in the beginning, I would like to represent my family and parents. Actually my family isn’t large. My family consists of three persons: my father, mother and sister. Besides there is one more member in our family – our cat Boris.
My father's name is Andrew. He is 41 years, but he looks muсh younger. My dad is well-educated and well-read. His hobby is fishing. He is fond of it.
My mother’s name is Helen. She is 37. She is a good-looking, blond woman. I really adore her sense of humor. She is a housewife. It takes her much time and power to take care of our home. Her hobby is gardening. She can spend long hours in her spare time in our garden.
I enjoy spending time with my family very much. We often go for walks.
As for me I am a student. I am 17. I can say that I'm friendly, kind, generous and honest. I have my own likes and dislikes. I never let my friends down.
