ABOUT MY FAMILY AND MYSELF

First of all let me introduce myself. My name is Victor Popovych. I am nineteen years old. I study at the Cherkassy Engineering and Technological Institute. I am in my second year. My family lives in Cherkassy in one of the residential areas. My parents have two more kids besides me. Thurs I have got an elder brother Alexander and a younger sister Olga. My sister is schoolgirl. She is fourteen. My brother is five years my senior. So he is twenty-four already. He is a designer by profession. He is married. His wife is a telephone-operator. They are four in the family. He has two children – a son and daughter. They are twins. They are lovely little kids with golden hair and dark blue eyes.

My parents are not old at all. Daddy is forty-seven and my Mum is three years his junior. My grandparents are already pensioners, but they are still full of life and energy. I have many relatives – aunts, uncles, cousins.

My father is an architect and my mother is a hairdresser. They like their work very much.

I am fond of reading books on history and science fiction. I go in for sports. I like playing football, basketball and chess. Especially I’m good at chess.

In four years I shall graduate from the Institute. To be a good specialist it is necessary to study many general and special subjects. My future speciality is electronic computers. In our age of rapid scientific progress and scientific discoveries electronic computing is becoming a branch of economy. It serves as the foundation of economic and engineering progress. Research is impossible without computers.
