Hehas two children — a son and a daughter. They are twins. They are lovely little kids with golden hair and blue eyes.

My parents are not old at all. Daddy is fourty-seven and my Mum is three years his junior. My father is an architect and my mother is a hairdres­ser. They like their work very much.

My grandpar­ents are already pensioners, but they are still full of life and energy. I have many relatives — aunts, uncles, cousins.

I am fond of reading books on history and science fic­tion. I go in for sports. I like playing football, basketball and chess. Especially I’m good at chess.
