MY FRIEND BORIS SMIRNOV

I have a friend. His name is Boris Smirnov. He is thirty-two years old. He is an engineer at a big plant. He has a lot of work to do at the plant. He is a busy man and he has not much free time.

Boris is married. He has a family. He has a wife and a daughter. Boris has no son. He also has a mother but he has no father. His father is dead. His mother is old. She is sixty-five years old. She is a pensioner.

Boris has a wife. Her name is Olga. She is a nice young woman of twenty-seven. Olga is a final-year student at our Institute. Olga is very fond of sport but this year she has very little time for it, because she is busy with her graduation project.

Boris has a daughter. Her name is Ann. Ann is a nice little girl. She is only eight and she is a schoolgirl. Ann is very fond of sport too and she has a lot of time for it. Ann is also fond of reading books. She has very many good books. She has a lot of Russian but few English books. Ann also has a little cat and a big dog. She is fond of playing with them.

All members of this family are good friends. I am fond of the family.

Olga is free today. She is at home. Boris is not at home. He is at the plant. He has a lot of work to do today. He is busy with quite a new project. Boris is fond of this project and of his work. Ann is at home now. She has a lot of homework to do today. Now she is busy with her lessons.
