Dear Clare,

Thanks for your letter, it was really a surprise for me. I'm sorry I haven't answered you earlier, but I was really busy with my school work.

What can I say about my family? Well, my family is quite friendly. We usually gather together to celebrate some holidays. It may be three or four times a month. Most of all we like to watch different films and concerts, some sport competitions and to have dinner or lunch together. Also we like walking in the park or spending time near a lake or on the bank of the river. I like our family picnics very much. We always take a lot of photos when we have a rest in the mountains or by the lake. We sometimes arrange our birthday parties in the country.

Well, I hope your Granny is well, isn't she? What can you say about her birthday party? Did you organize it in the way for her to be pleased?  What do you usually like to do when you meet altogether? Do you like to have fun?

Well, I finish now because I have to do my homework. So, I hope you write to me soon.

Best wishes,

Denis

I’d like to tell a few words about my family. There five of us in the family – my mom, my dad, my elder sister, my younger brother and me. We are a very close-knit family with all of us loving and taking care of each other.My mother is very kind and patient. I often wonder how she manages to be so even-tempered. We get on like a horse on fire and she’s the very person who can enjoy your success when you feel on top of the world or give you a shoulder to cry on when you’re down in the dumps. My mother is a university teacher. But she’s also a good cook and she’s got green fingers, so we’ve got a lot of plants in the house.My father is a lawyer. He’s extremely confident, sensible and organized. You might think that he can be boring at times due to his job, but you’re mistaken because he’s the most cheerful person I’ve ever known. He tries to spend all his free time with us and it’s very interesting to be with him. He knows a lot and is very good at story-telling. Besides, when it comes to doing crossword puzzles, he’s really on the ball.My elder sister is a charming young girl. We get on very well together because she’s very friendly and easy-going and never tries to tell me what to do, though she’s five years older than me. She’s also very smart. She’s got an excellent grasp of English and German and is currently doing a language course in Cambridge. We try to keep in touch and communicate regularly, but we all miss her a lot.My younger brother is a ten-year-old boy you just can’t help having soft spot for. He’s funny and open. He’s also very brainy for his age. He’s extremely well-behaved and diligent and is in the teachers’ good books at school.To sum up I can say that thanks to my family my home is my castle. These are the people who will always be there for me and will give me a hand if I don’t know which way to turn. I love my family.

Я хотел бы сказать несколько слов о своей семье. Нас пятеро – моя мама, мой папа, моя старшая сестра, моя младший брат и я. Мы очень близки. Мы дорожим нашей семьей и заботимся друг о друге.Моя мама очень добрая и терпеливая. Я часто удивляюсь, как ей удается оставаться такой невозмутимой. Мы отлично ладим друг с другом. Она именно тот человек, который может разделить с тобой успех, когда ты чувствуешь себя на вершине мира или подставить плечо, когда тебе очень плохо. Моя мама преподает в университете. Кроме того, она прекрасно готовит и любит заниматься цветами, поэтому у нас в доме много растений.Мой отец юрист. Он очень уверенный, разумный и организованный. Вы можете подумать, что он бывает занудным из-за своей профессии, но тут вы ошибаетесь, потому что мой отец – самый жизнерадостный человек из тех, кого я встречал. Он много знает и прекрасный рассказчик. Кроме того, когда речь заходит о разгадывании кроссвордов, ему нет равных.Моя старшая сестра – прекрасная молодая девушка. Мы хорошо ладим, потому что она очень дружелюбная и общительная и никогда не говорит мне, что делать, хоть и на пять лет старше. Она также очень умная. У нее прекрасный английский и немецкий и сейчас она проходит языковой курс в Кембридже. Мы поддерживаем связь и регулярно общаемся, но мы все очень по ней скучаем.Мой младший брат – десятилетний мальчик, к которому невозможно не питать привязанности. Он веселый и открытый. Он также очень смышленый для своего возраста. Он послушный и прилежный и на хорошем счету у школьных учителей.В завершении могу сказать, что благодаря моей семье – мой дом – моя крепость. Это люди, которые всегда будут со мной и мне, если я не знаю, как поступить. Я люблю свою семью.
