1._________________

My name is Oleh. I am eleven years old. l live in Ukraine in a small town not far from Lviv. I want to tell you a few words about my family. My family is not very large. I have got a mother, a father, a sister and a₍ grandmother. There are five of us in the family. My mother is a doctor. Her name is Anna. She is good-look- ing and kind. My father is a vet. His name is Victor. He is tall and sporty. He loves animals very much. My sister’s name is Olesya. She is five. She doesn’t go to school yet. Olesya likes drawing nature. My Gran­ny’s name is Anastasiya. She is a very kind and loving person. She takes care of all our family. We have got a pet. It is a big brown dog. His name is Dick. We are a friendly and happy family.

 

2.________________

   As they gathered around the table Mrs March said with a particularly happy face, “I’ve got a treat for you after supper”.

   A quick bright smile went round like a streak of sunshine. Beth clapped her hands, regardless of the biscuit she held, and Jo tossed up her napkin, crying, “A letter! A letter! A letter from Father!”

   “Yes, a nice long letter. He is well, and thinks he shall get through the cold season better than we feared. He sends all sorts of loving wishes for Christmas and an especial mes­sage to you, girls”, said Mrs March patting her pocket as if she had a treasure there...

3._________________

   ...They all drew to the fire, Mother in the big chair with Beth at her feet, Meg and Amy perched on either arm of the chair, and Jo leaning on the back, where no one would see any sign of emotion if the letter should happen to be touching. Very few letters were written in those hard times that were not touching, especially those which Father sent home. In this one little was said of the hardships of life, the dangers faced at war, or the homesickness. It was a cheerful, hopeful letter, full of lively descriptions of camp life, marches, and military news, and only at the end did the writer’s heart overflow with fatherly love and longing for the little girls at home.

4.__________________

Most of people in Ukraine work five days a week but some students work six days. As for my family, we have two days off. These are Saturday and Sunday. I like these days very much. We are not in a hurry in the morning and  can sleep longer than usual on these days.

If the weather is warm and sunny, we can play sports on the playground, walk in the park or go to the ci­nema. Sometimes my family and me go on a picnic to the forest. It is fantastic! When the weather is bad my friends come to my place. We listen to music, watch films, play table games or computer games.

In the evening, we usually read books or watch TV. Before going to bed I pack my school bag and get ready for my working day. I enjoy our days off very much because I have a real rest.
