ABOUT MYSELF. MY FAMILY

Let me introduce myself. My full name is Victor Andreevich Ivanov. Victor is my first name and Ivanov is my surname. I was born on April, 7, 1997 in Kazan. I am 17 years old. I am a student of Kazan State Power Engineering University. This year I have finished school number 122.

Certainly I am not married, but I've got a mother and a father. I live in Pushkin street with my parents.

My father's name is Andrei Petrovich. He works at a big plant. He is an
engineer. He is 47 years old. He is always busy. He has very little free time. My mother's name is Irina Olegovna. She is two years his junior. She is an office worker at the same plant.

I am not the only child in the family. I have got a sister and a brother. My sister Kate is 6 years my senior. She doesn't work now. She runs the house and looks after the children. My sister is 23 years old. She is married. She has two daughters- baby twins. I adore my lovely nieces.

My elder brother Oleg is single. But he is engaged. His fiancee Ann (my
future sister-in-law) is a student. She is in her final year.

We have a grandmother and a grandfather. They live in the country. I love
them very much and often go to see them. My grandmother is retired (from
service) and receives an old-age pension. But she is still in good health.

My grandfather is not retired yet. When he has free time he likes to work in the garden. I visit my grandparents from time to time.

We have many relatives. My aunts, uncles and cousins live in different parts of Tatarstan. On holidays they often come to our place. We have a very good time together.

I am always very busy, but when I am free I like to read books. I like to go to the museums and art galleries. I have a lot of friends, but my best friend is Nick. I like to travel. I am on friendly terms with my parents, we are deeply attached to each other and we get on very well.
