My Mum’s name is Galina. She is forty-one. She works at my school as a teacher of Mathematics. She is very clever, though sometimes she can be rather strict. But I know that her students respect her very much, because she is a talented teacher. Also my Mum is very beautiful. She is quite short of stature, and has a straight slender figure. Her natural hair colour is black, and she never dyes it. In general, she uses very little cosmetics, but she always looks well, because she pays much attention to the state of her skin, hair and hands. My Mum says that even the most expensive cosmetics will never substitute natural beauty of a woman. As for my Mum’s personality, her predominate traits, in my opinion, are patience and a strong sense of justice. When I was small, she never shouted at me. Instead, she tried to explain me what is good and what is bad, what is right and what is wrong. She managed to find time to explain me all the things that I didn’t understand. And I have always known that I could ask her any questions.
My Dad’s name is Nicolay. He is thirty-nine. Yes, he is two years younger than my Mum. By the way, they got acquainted when they were students. My father studied in Polytechnic University, and my mother was a student of Pedagogical Institute. At that time they both were fond of alpinism, and went to one and the same mountaineering camp. One day my Mum fell down and twisted her ankle, and my Dad happened to be nearby. He carried Mum to the camp in his arms, and she was really charmed with his concern and his strength. My father is an electrician, but now he doesn’t work in his specialty. He has his own small business. Some years ago his friend and he opened a car service center. Here I should say that my Dad can turn his hand to almost anything, so, he has succeeded in his new work rather quickly. Now he has got many regular customers. My little brother is mad about cars, and Dad often takes him along to work. As for me, I am not much interested in all this stuff, and most of all I like weekends, when Dad is at home. Then we can go somewhere all together.
