MY FAMILY And now I would like to introduce you with my family. There are six people in my family: my father, mother, brother, two sisters and me. My father’s name is Ulugbek. He is 57 years old. My father is a very unique person. If I were to tell his biography I would probably start with such a statement. There is a lot to tell about his adventurous life; he has lived an interesting life, I think. I admire him a lot but sometimes I find it hard to understand him. I guess this should come as no surprise because it is the old conflict of generations. Anyway, he generally supports me and we get along well. He might be conservative but he is very understanding and very supportive. My father has read a lot and is quite knowledgeable on variety of topics. He is very good in history and also in herbal medicine. He studied Russian language and literature but didn’t quite enjoy teaching and that is why he taught only for a short period of time. He likes hiking in the mountains and enjoys discussions and debates about politics. Almost forgot, he is a true democrat and defends the principles of democracy and equality. My mother, on the other hand, is really not into politics and never was interested as far as I remember. Her name is Narifa, but people call her Maripa or Naripa. I like her name, it is not that common. My mom is also a teacher. She is 54 years old. She teaches Russian history. There was a time when I was in high school she taught me geography. It was cool. My mom is really funny sometimes, but she is a good person. It is time to turn to my brother. His name is Hamza. My brother is 28 years old. He and his wife live in Tashkent. My sister-in-law’s name is Muqaddas. She is half Uzbek and half Tajik. My brother went to medical school for 6 years and now he is working in epidemiological center. His dream is to visit the U.S one day. He thinks that things are a lot better and easier there and he is actually right. Mira likes to read and thinks that she knows best. It is hard to argue with her, although my brother still does. My older sister is married. Her name is Roxana. Yes, very unusual name. I should note that all our names are quite uncommon. My father likes to give names of historical figures that few people know. She is 23 and has a baby boy, whose name is Imran. Her husband’s name is Maqsad and they have been married for two years now. They live in Samarqand city. My younger sister, who I sometimes think is in love with me, is a high school student. People say she looks like me. She can be so annoying sometimes that I try to get away from her. She gets too attached that’s why I said she might be in love with me, of course she is not. When we were young we used to play chess all the time, and when she would win she would be so proud of herself. I love her very much. She wants to speak English very well. Actually, her English is improving because she studies hard. Her name is Aykhan, by the way, the only common name. She is a smart girl. She lives with my parents in Tashkent. She is the youngest and I used to be jealous when I was young because she would get all the attention. So that’s my family, quite typical Uzbek family. So now if you decide to visit my family you would already know something about them. Yes, we speak Uzbek at home. Comprehension Questions What is this family like? Describe them.
