My family is not big, but also is not small: Dad, Mom, me, my brother, and my sister. We live in Kiev. My Mum is forty-three, she is a dentist. My Dad is forty-five, he is a translator, and he works for a publishing house. My parents both like their work very much.
There are 4 of us in our family: my mother, father, my elder brother and me. I think our family is friendly and united. We spend much time together, hike, visit theaters, museums, go to the cinema. My mother's name is Luidmila Mikhailovna. She is an engineer, she works in an office. She is a kind, nice woman. She can cook very well. She is fond of reading. My father's name is Konstantin Alexeevich. He is a sailor. He is a strong, clever man. He often tells me interesting stories about different countries. Father can do a lot of things. He teaches me to repair furniture, to drive a car. My brother's name is Alexei. He is 22 years old. He has been studying in Far- Eastern State Marine Academy for 5 years. Now it is a very difficult period for him: he is taking state exams.
I have my duties about the house. I must go shopping, clean the rooms. It's not difficult for me. I like our home to be clean and tidy. I think home is the nicest place. As proverb says, "East or West, home is best". There is no place more delightful than home and there are no people more dear than your relatives.
My younger brother Sasha is eight years old, he goes to school. He likes spending time outdoors, playing computer games and watching TV.
My grandparents are retired. They spend a lot of their time in the garden, growing vegetables and fruits.
We have united family and always help each other. Everyone in my family is my best friend. I love my family very much.

There are many different sports groups: table tennis, swimming, athletics, football, volleyball, wrestling, and rhythmic gymnastics. Many pupils of our school attend these sports groups.
In our school we have also painting group, dance group, theatre group and rock group. All these groups are very popular and many pupils attend them.
In the UK people get married either in a church or a registry office (a local government building). In the US people often get married in a house , a park, a hotel, or wedding chapel, as well as in a church. The traditional wedding, called a white wedding as the bride wears a white dress, takes place in a church.
The Main People at a Wedding
The bride is the woman who is getting married. Traditionally she wears a long white dress and a veil, and carries a bouquet of flowers. She also wears "something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue" to bring her luck. The bridegroom (also called the groom) is the man who is getting married. He wears a suit, or something a tuxedo in the US, or a morning suit in the UK.
Before the Ceremony
It is considered bad luck if the bridegroom sees the bride on the morning of the wedding. The bridegroom arrives first at the church and waits at the altar with the best man. The best man is responsible for bringing the wedding ring, and there are many jokes about him loosing or forgetting it. The bride arrives at the church in a car with her father. There are often jokes about the bride being late, and the groom being very nervous as he waits and worries that she may not come.
The Ceremony
It is traditional for the bride’s farther to give her away (to walk to the front of the church with her and formally give permission for her to marry). The bride and her farther walk slowly up to the aisle and the bridesmaids follow. When the bride and bridegroom are together at the altar, the priest begins the wedding service. He or she asks if there is anyone present who knows of any legal reason why the couple should not get married. Then the bride and groom exchange the traditional vows. It is sometimes possible to change the vows or even white your own. "I, Jane Smith, take thee, David Jones, to be my lawful wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forth, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish forsaking all others, until death do us part."
The couple then give each other a gold ring and say, “With this ring I thee wed” (I marry you).
At the end of the ceremony, the priest says, “I pronounce you man and wife,” which means that they are officially married. The husband and wife then sign the register (the official record of their marriage).
In today's fast-moving world,people have less and less time to spend eating,let alone cooking.It is probably for this reason that junk food has become so popular,and there's no doubt that it's here to stay.In fact,it seems that you simply can't get away from it.One British hotel group recently announced that its guests are able to order fast food through room service,a move which is seen by many as signifying a new era in the couch potato lifestyle.So what exactly is junk food?
Obviously,a diet of junk food is not the best thing for your health,particularly as it is high in saturated fat.In 1993,the Journal of the National Cancer Institute reported this type of fat to be associated with a greated risk of cancer.
The best advise,for those who cannot live without their hamburgers or chocolate bars,is to limit the amount of junk food they eat.A little now and then will probably do no harm.But why have our eating habits changed?"It's lack of time and loss of tradition",says one expert.
Another alarming thing about people's lifestyle today is that while the amount of junk food we eat has increased,the amount of exercise we do has actually decreased.Exercise plays an important part in keeping the body fit and healthy;it helps to control our weight and,if taken regularly,can also decrease our chances of having a heart attack in later life.
Even though people nowdays are actually far more aware of the importance of exercise and a healthy diet than they werw a few years ago,the new unhealthy way of life is surprisingly popular.This is illustrated by statistics gathered by researchers over the past two decades.
Researchers suggest that the new generation will be much more likely to suffer from heart and liver disease.What can't be emphasised enough is the fact that a balanced diet and regular exercise bring significant health benefits.
Ironically,if they were to make time to exercise and improve their eating habits,they would probably find that they were far better equipped to deal with their stressful lifestyles than they are now.
