My family

This is my family: my wife, my daughter, my son and me. My name is Peter Black. I am 40 years old. I am a commercial manager. I work at a large factory. My hobby is a sport. My wife’s name is Helen Black. Helen is a housewife. She has a lot of work to do. When Helen has a free time, she likes knitting. We have two kids: a boy and a girl. The boy’s name is John. He is seventeen years old. He is a first-year student. He studies at Agricultural University. He is fond of computer games. Our daughter’s name is Mary. She is very young. She is only five. Her hobby is dancing.

We have many relatives: cousins, uncles and aunts. My parents are sixty years old. They are farmers. Helen’s father is fifty-six and her mother’s fifty-three. Helen’s sister Ann is her best friend. Ann is a college teacher. She’s twenty-four. She is not married. She is fond of our children.

Every summer we go to the country to Helen’s parents. They adore their grandchildren. Helen’s father knows a lot of fairy tales. Every evening he retells them to Mary. John often goes with his grandmother to the forest to pick berries and mushrooms. He also likes fishing. All cats of the country are happy to see him. I think the summer holidays in the country are the best holidays.
