Meet my family. There are five of us – my parents, my elder brother, my baby sister and me. First, meet my mum and dad, Jane and Michael. My mum enjoys reading and my dad enjoys playing chess with my brother Ken. My mum is slim and rather tall. She has long red hair and big brown eyes. She has a very pleasant smile and a soft voice. My mother is very kind and understanding. We are real friends. She is a housewife. As she has three children, she is always busy around the house. She takes care of my baby sister Meg, who is only three months old.

When I grew up I always wondered how it would be the perfect place to stay. Now I can say that I have a clear vision of his city of my dreams. In the first place, it must be located in the southern part of the planet and have excellent weather conditions all year round. Secondly there must be a sea, a water park and the most important: family and friends. albeit I believe that in the near future for each person will have their own corner of the dream but I do not like in my hometown !! Hometown, where in a special smell of the homeland and wherever you are located, there is always pulls. It is the brightest stars and most beautiful street ... I'm from Minsk. and I will always love my city!
