LET’S GET ACQUAINTED!

Hello! My name is Mike, Mike Young. I am 17 and I am from the USA. I live in Winfield. It is a small town not far from New York. I study in Winfield High school. Next year I’ll be in my final year and I’ll have to decide what to do next. My parents want me to study at Winfield Community College but I do not know for sure if it is a right choice. Best of all I like sport. I am mad about sport games like soccer and basketball. I am also a dance-lover and you can often see me in our dance club.

I live with my family. It is rather big according to modern standards. We are six. My Dad, Howard Young, is 46 now. He is an engineer. He is rather tall, well-built and very sportive. He is fond of playing tennis and very good at it. He also likes swimming. My Mom, Elinor Young, is a woman of 44. She is very attractive and charming. She is easy to get along with and we seldom quarrel. She is a doctor in Winfield Hospital and, as they say, a very good one. Mom is very handy with everything she does. She is good at everything in the world: knitting, sawing, embroidering, cooking, baking and so on. Our Mom is interested in gardening and I think she has a green thumb.

I have two sisters and a brother. My elder sister Liz is 21 now so she is 4 years my senior. She is single so far and she lives in New York where she works as a telephone operator for a big company. She speaks three foreign languages: German, French and Italian. And she speaks them fluently. She is very clever and bright and we miss her very much.

My younger sister Joyce is only 12. She is the youngest in our family. She is at Winfield Elementary school. To tell the truth she is a bright student and is very good at drawing, dancing and singing. She is also keen on sports. In this she takes after our father. You can often find her on a sport ground playing basketball or soccer. Like me and our father she is a good tennis player.

My brother Ted is 2 years my junior. So he is 15 now. People say we look like two peas but I do not think so. He looks like our mother but I resemble both my Mom and Dad. He is a good guy, very active and merry, but we often quarrel and even fight with him. I can’t stand when he pokes his nose into my business and takes my things without my permission. But he has a great sense of humor and you’ll never be bored with him around.

All in all we are a happy and friendly family.
