      Hi! My name … Ivan, I … from Russia, from Vladivostok. It … a large port city in the Russian Far East. Vladivostok … a very nice city on the hills (холмы), it … near the sea.

Tuesday and Friday … days for my dance classes.

      My family … not too (слишком) big: father, mother, my younger brother Vlad, and our pet Maestro. It … a beautiful white tom cat (кот) with blue eyes. Maestro … very smart, but he … too lazy, selfish (эгоистичный), and arrogant (высокомерный). He … sure (уверен) that we all … his servants (слуги) and our life task (жизненная задача) … to please (угождать) him.

      My father’s name … Maxim; he … fifty years old. Dad … a businessman; he … often on his business trips (командировки) far away from home. He … not a tall man, and not very handsome. His skin … dark, and his hair … already grey (седые). Father … not much of a good (не слишком хороший) sportsman, so his body … not too fit (подтянутое), and he … not broad-shouldered (широкоплечий).

      My mom’s name … Sabina, she … from Finland. She … forty-seven years old, but her attractive face … so young that people … sure she … only thirty-five! Her long wavy (волнистые) hair … blond, and her wonderful big eyes … blue. Now mom’s Russian … really perfect, but her accent … a bit funny. She … a housewife, and … always busy with work about the house (по дому). Mother … a very active person, and she … never tired! She … a great cook, and her dishes … always so tasty! Endless (бесконечные) Mexican serials … her great hobby.

      As for (что касается) my brother Vlad, he … a teenage brainiac (умник), a real nerd («ботаник»)! He … crazy about (без ума от) computers, and, of course, his future profession … an IT specialist. Besides (кроме того), he … a big football fan. His favorite (любимая) music … punk rock that … quite terrible for my ears.

      We … all friends in our family, and we … really glad to spend time together.
