Family is an integral part of every person’s life. It is the most important social unit. A sense of stability and tradition, that family provides, can’t be replaced by anything or anyone. Perhaps, every family follows some special traditions that have been passed to them by former generations. My family is not an exception. For example, in my family it is habitual to dine together. Every evening, when my parents come home from work, we have a nourishing family dinner. First of all, it lets us feel as a close unit. Secondly, we get to discuss the important events of the day. The same tradition can be seen in my grandparents’ house. Other than that, we are used to share the household chores. Everyone has its own duties. For example, my mum is responsible for cooking, while my dad always does the shopping. I’m responsible for the pets and plants, while my older sister is responsible for washing the dishes and vacuum-cleaning. In my opinion, we are a close-knit and friendly family. Each time there is an official holiday we invite the friends and arrange a posh feast. We especially like celebrating New Year and Christmas. The traditional New Year dishes in our home are a roast chicken, a couple of Russian salads and my mum’s specialty - a vanilla cake. We always prepare postcards and presents for everyone who visits us and for our family members. The presents are usually placed under the Christmas tree. Other family tradition is going out on Friday nights. Every Friday we go out for a dinner. After that, we either come back home to watch a good movie, or we go to the cinema. There are lots of other traditions in my family, but these seem to be the most important ones.

Every year on our land, especially in cities, there are more and more homeless animals. People have mostly purebred dogs and cats, but "purebred" animals are forced to exist on the street. We often hear the expression "a dog is man's most faithful friend", a lot of good films about friendship between man and dog and loyalty have been shot about dogs.Dogs also help us as guides for the blind, serve in the police and border troops, participate in scientific laboratories as experimental animals, etc. Cats are also important for humans, because they protect our homes from mice and rats. It has long been proven that cats can heal people. I think that people should think, take care and love not only their pets, but also take care of stray animals.

For more than a year now, I have been feeding the cats of my yard, buying food with the money that my parents give me, made them from a box a crib with a soft bedding. Now they too, seeing me, run from all the cracks and basements. Especially, I am glad that other residents of our house began to feed them. Previously, these animals looked pathetic, hair in tufts, skinny, but now they are cheerful, the coat is smooth and shiny.
