He is in his fourth year. He is going to be a programmist. Most of his time he spends at his computer. I like my brother but I don't want to look like him. I prefer to spend my free time outdoors. And he very seldom goes out with me and daddy.
My grandparents live in the country. Every summer we go there for a couple of weeks. I like my grandparents, their village and their animals. My grandmother Olga is 63. She bakes wonderful cakes. My grandfather is 66. In the country I usually swim and sunbathe with my friends. I have lots of friends there who came to their grandparents like me. We spend all the days together. My parents usually go to the forest and pick up berries and mushrooms. We also help our grandmother and grandfather to feed their animals.
I love my family. We are very friendly and happy to live together.

My Family (2)
Our family is large (small, not very large). We are the family of seven (two, three, four, five, six): my mother, my father, my grandmother, my grandfather, my sister, my brother and I. My mother's name is ... She is ... years old. She is a teacher (a doctor, a worker, an engineer). She is a very nice, kind and clever woman. My father's name is ... He is ... years old. He is a worker (a teacher, an engineer, a doctor, a businessman). He is rather tall and strong. He is a man of strong character - and all of us love him very much. My grandmother's name is ... She is ... years old. She does not work now, she is a pensioner, but she has a lot of work to do about the house. All of us try to help her. My grandfather's name is... He is... years old. He is a pensioner too. My brother and sister are students (pupils). Their names are ... They are older (younger) than me. We are a very good family. We love each other very much. In the evenings, when all the members of our family get together after work and study, we like to watch TV, to read books and newspapers, to talk about different things and to discuss all our problems together. When the weather is good we sometimes go for a walk. We have a small house in the country with a garden and a kitchen garden. There is much work there and on weekends we go there and work and have rest all together.
My Flat [flxt](1) (моя квартира)
My family and I live in Saint-Petersurg, in Moscow Аvenue. We live on the fourth floor of a brick block of flats. Our house is old. It was built in the 19th century. Our flat is quite big. There are two bedrooms, a living-room, a kitchen, a bathroom and a toilet.
Our living-room is not very big, but cozy. It is light, because there is a big window in it and the ceiling is very high. This room is the one where we gather together in the evening. We also invite our guests to this room and celebrate our family holidays there. There is a big bookcase on the right of the door, a flat TV-set on the right and two nice chairs in front of it. There is also a sofa by the window. In the middle of the room there is a round coffee-table.
I have a sister, so we have one room. It is bigger than the others, but I sometimes think that it is too small for the two of us. We have very different characters and habits and quite often argue because of the posters on the walls and other things. There is a wall unit, two tables, a big window and two beds in our room. We have a TV-set with a DVD-player in our room too.
My parents' bedroom is very cozy. The colour of the walls and curtains are tender and match to each other. There is a big bed in the middle, a large wardrobe for clothes, a bedside table, a chest of drawers and a stereo.
Our kitchen is very nice. The furniture is light brown and the table is big and round. There is a microwave oven, a fridge and an oven there. We usually have breakfast and supper in the kitchen.
Our bathroom is quite small but very bright and cozy. We have a bath, a washing machine and some bathroom shelves there.
There is a big hall in our flat. When guests come we dance in the hall.
I like my apartment very much.
============================================
My Flat (2)
We have a nice flat in a new block of flats. Our flat is on the fifth floor of a nine-storied building. It has all modern conveniences: central heating, running hot and cold water, electricity, gas, a lift and a chute to carry rubbish down. We have a three-room flat, which consists of a living room, a bedroom, a study (which is also my room), a kitchen, a bathroom and a toilet. There are also two closets in our flat. Our flat has two balconies. The living room is the largest and most comfortable one in the flat. In the middle of the room we have a square dinner table with six chairs round it. To the left of the dinner table there is a wall-unit, which has several sections: a sideboard, a wardrobe and some shelves. At the opposite wall there is a piano and a piano stool before it. To the right there is a little table with color TV set on it. Opposite the TV set there are two cozy armchairs. A divan-bed and a standard lamp are in the left-hand corner. In front of the armchairs there is a small round table for newspapers and magazines. There is a thick carpet on the floor. Two watercolors hang on the wall above the divan-bed. In the evening we usually draw the curtains across the windows, and a red lampshade gives a warm color to the room. The bedroom is smaller than the living room and not so light as there is only one window in it. In this room there are two beds, two dressing tables and a wardrobe. In the corner of the bedroom there is a small color TV set. On the dressing table there is an alarm clock and small lamp with green lampshade. Our study is the smallest room in the flat, but in spite of it, it is very cozy. There isn't much furniture in it, but there are a lot of shelves full of books. It has a writing table, an armchair and a bookcase too. A small round table with cassette-recorder is standing in the right-hand corner of the study. Besides, there is a small sofa near the wall opposite the bookcase. This room was my father's study, but as I grew older, it has become my room. And in my opinion it is the best room in our flat. My friends used to come to my place to have a chat or to play chess in the evening, and they consider my room to be very comfortable. I share their opinion.
My Friends
I think that friendship is one of the most precious things in our life. Friends help us to enjoy our life and to overcome hardships. I don't have lots of friends, but my friends are people whom do I trust and whom I really love. My best friend is my classmate Nikita. He is fourteen. He is a tall boy with an oval face and green eyes. His hair is short and dark brown. Nikita lives not far from my house. We usually go to school, play computer games and go for a walk together. I like spending my time with Nikita because we understand each other very well. We have lots of similar interests.
Nikita is fond of sports like me. His favourite winter sport is skiing. At weekends we go to a nearby park and ski together. In summer we cycle and play football in the yard.
We both like the same music and that really unites us. We discuss our favourite music bands and their works every day on the way home.
I have other friends, too. Dima is not my classmate, he is older. He studies in the 10-th form. He plays the guitar very well and writes songs himself. He also has a huge collection of CD-s. I and Nikita like to visit him and to listen to his songs. Moreover sometimes he helps us with our homework.
I think that my friends are very cool and I am happy to have them.
My School (1)
I want to tell you about my school. It's a school № 146 in Saint-Petersburg. My school is big: it has four floors. On the ground floor there is a gym, a canteen, a medical room, a school museum and a library. We usually have lunch in the canteen.

Pupils can make reports and prepare their homework there. The Internet access is also available for all pupils for free. Our chemistry lab is very big. During Chemistry lessons we make experiments with teacher's help. I am quite good at Chemistry and I like working in our lab a lot.
Some of our classrooms have tape-recorders, TV-sets, video- and DVD-players, so teachers show us educational films and documentaries. All classrooms are very cozy. There are a lot of flowers and posters on the walls.
There are also a lot of interesting clubs at school. I like the erudite club. We learn lots of interesting things there and develop our thinking skills. We often have competitions with other schools. We also have a handicraft club, a dancing studio and an art studio. Any pupil can be a member of this or that club. They are all free of charge.
There is a large and beautiful assembly hall on the third floor. School meetings and concerts take place there. There is a large stage and modern equipment necessary for school plays and concerts.
