Paris. When I was a child I dreamt about the most romantic city in the world — Paris. For me Paris is a fairy tale. That’s why Paris is the city of my dream and my developed imagination. As a child I wanted to visit just Disneyland. I saw wonderful pictures from the biggest (in my opinion) entertainment part in the world — Disneyland. I collected photos illustrated Disneyland land and Paris at whole. Then I grew up and fell in love. It was the most romantic and lovely period in my life. So my desire to visit Paris was still alive as Paris is a city of love.

No doubt for all of us our family is the most precious thing on earth. We all need love, understanding and support and we are sure to find them in our families. I’d like to tell you a few words about our family. Our family is not very large. There are 4 of us: father, mother, my sister and I. (3 of us: father, mother and I).             My mother is on the right (wrong) side of 40 (под/за 40), but she looks much younger. She has short dark hair and hazel eyes. (She has fair wavy hair and blue eyes). She works as a nurse in a hospital (a teacher at a secondary school, an engineer at a plant, a book-keeper in a bank, a dressmaker). She is always as busy as a bee because she runs the house and has a lot of work to do at our summer cottage. We all try to help her as much as we can. My father is a little bit older than my mother. He is in his early (mid-, late) 40-ies, but he doesn’t look his age either. They say that a woman is as old as she looks and a man is as old as he feels and my father looks and feels strong and fit. He is very keen on sport (fishing) and he spends a lot of time on his hobby (especially on jogging (volleyball).) He is really an excellent father, very involved and protective towards us and we love him dearly. My father is a worker at a plant (a teacher at a technical school, a doctor, an engineer, a business-man). He often comes tired from work but he always finds time for us.
