My name is Ivan; my nick in the Internet is “bike” because my favourite hobby is riding a bike. I love riding my bike. I can see parks and ponds or rivers and fields when I am in the country! My elder brother Alex is fond of photography. He takes pictures of everything he sees. He also plays the guitar and sings songs. I like being with him. My little sister Olga likes dolls, of course. She’s got a big collection. Some of them are from foreign countries. Our dad is a real sportsman. He plays football and likes swimming. He swims all the year round, in the river, in the sea or in the swimming pool. Mum prefers classical music and interesting books. She can play the piano. Our cat Vasily also has a hobby, he likes sleeping and eating! In the evening we like getting together, talking and listening to some music.
