3. ABOUT MY FAMILY MEMBERS. 
Someone said, ―The most important thing in the world is family and love.‖ I 
think that a lot of people agree with this statement. 
My family consists of four people: my lovely father, mother, elder brother and 
me. 
My father’s name is Vladimir. He had been working as a deputy manager in 
the mining company, before he was pensioned off. Now he is 62 and takes care of 
my mother and our household. By the way, he had started cooking really great 
dishes after he retired, it's his favorite hobby. 
My mother’s name is Olga. She is an IT manager in the treasure house. She 
has been working with computers for as long as I remember. I think she enjoys 
tinkering with them and making some changes in the software. She is 58, but still 
looks as if she's 48. Amazing! 
My parents are kind but rather strict in educating their children and 
grandchildren. They always give me and my brother some good advice on how to 
live and share their life experience with us. 
My elder brother works as a lawyer. His name is Denis. Now he lives with his 
own family in another country and I terribly miss our get-together time. He is quite 
handsome man with dark brown hair which has just started to go gray. Thank 
goodness, my sister-in-law is not a jealous woman. He is sincere and reliable. I can 
rely on him in any difficult situation. Also he is a 2–year–old girl proud father. Her 
name is Elizabeth, and she behaves like a real queen. She always demands 
attention of her parents and likes to boss around a little bit. 

---

I can say that we’re a very amiable family. My parents understand us at first 
glance, and we help each other without further ado. 
For almost any person, there is nothing more important in the world than their 
family. I love my family too. Today I would like to tell you about them. 
My family is quite big. It consists of my mother, father, my three siblings and 
our cat Bob. Well, most people would say that a pet is not a family member but no 
one in our family would agree with that. We all love Bob and consider him a 
family member. 
My mother’s name is Aziza, she is a teacher. She has been working in our 
local school for a long time. My mom teaches History and Social Studies, the 
subjects that I really love. She loves reading very much, and her favorite book is 
―A Street Cat Named Bob‖ by James Bowen. If you are familiar with the book, 
you can guess why she named our ginger cat Bob. 
My father’s name is Ikrom. He is a little older than mom and he used to be a 
police officer. He retired at a quite young age and has been running his own 
business ever since. He has a small coffee shop and a candy store. To be honest, I 
don’t know much about his business, but he says it is doing well. 
As for my siblings, I have a sister, her name is Maria, and she is the oldest 
one, and two brothers – Ziyo and Nabi. By the way, I am the youngest child in the 
family but I am totally happy with that role. My sister Marifat is an engineer, she 
lives in another town but visits us at least once a month. My brothers are still 
students. Ziyo studies history, following in our mother’s footsteps, Nabi is going to 
be a software developer. He is a big fan of videogames, and his dream is to 
develop his own game. 
In conclusion, I would like to say that I love my family and for me there is 
nothing more important than them. I think, they all have the same opinion.
