B) traits of character
MY FAMILY
Our family is not very large. I have a father, a mother, a brother and a sister. We all live together in a new flat in Nagornaya street in Izhevsk.
My father Igor Ivanovich is 45 years old. He is a tall and well-built man with short black hair and grey eyes. He works at an automobile firm as an engineer. He likes his work and spends most of his time there. By character my father is a quiet man, while my mother is energetic and talkative. Her name is Olga Petrovna. She is a teacher of English and knows many foreign languages. My mother always has a lot of work to do about the house and at school. She is a busy woman and we all help her.
My sister's name is Alla. Like her mother Alla has blue eyes and lovely fair hair. She is a very good-looking girl. Alla is three years younger than me. She is a pupil of the 10th form. She does well at school and gets only good and excellent marks.
My name is Tanya. Last year I left school and entered the University.
Our family is very united. We like to spend time together. In the evenings we watch TV, read books and newspapers, listen to music or just talk about the events of the day. We often go to the village where our grandparents live. They are old-aged pensioners now but prefer to live in the country.
My grand-grandmother is still alive. She lives in my grandmother's family and is always glad to see us. She is in poor health and asks us to come and see her more often.
I also have many other relatives: uncles, aunts, cousins and many friends. We are happy when we are together.

Ex. 1 Read the text and answer the questions after it:
I have many friends, but my best friend is Nick. Nick is 22. He is an impressive figure: about 185 cm, well-built and strong. He has an oval face, straight nose, thick hair, blue eyes and an attractive smile. So people find him good-looking. Nick is particularly known for his warm and friendly character. Whenever a friend is in trouble he never fails to help. He is always open-minded and interested in other people. The only thing I don't like about Nick is that he smokes. But he is a person of strong character and I'm sure he will get rid of this bad habit.
We made friends with Nick when his family moved to our house. Nick was a schoolboy then. He was interested in sports and dreamt to enter the Institute of Physical Training and Sports. He passed exams well and became a student.
In general my friend is an interesting person. He is well-bred. He is fond of modern pop and rock music.
Nick goes in for sports with great enthusiasm. He plays basketball and football well. His hobby is body-building.
My friend is single and not going to marry yet. For me it is very important that Nick is an honest man. I can fully rely on him and trust everything to him. Nick has got a great sense of humour and I like to spend time with him. It is impossible to be depressed with him around.

Ex.5 Do you know any person according to this appearance?
1. She is attractive. She's got lovely long hair but the trouble is she knows it as well. She really thinks she's the greatest She always thinks she's the best at everything. All she ever thinks about is herself. She can't stand criticism of herself.
2. He wears glasses and moustache. I can't see his face. Maybe because of this I can't really trust him. He looks like a bandit to me.
3. She is a dreadful person. She's got lots of money but she hates spending it. She is not very tall – about 156 cm and she's rather thin. I suppose she has got blond hair, but she is not at all attractive. That face! Oh, god! She's awful!
4. He is a man of 40, not good-looking and not yet ugly. His hair is reddish, cut very short, his eyes are small, blue or grey. He looks commonplace. He is just a good, dull, honest, plain man, a pretty bore. One can admire his qualities, but avoid his company.
