Sample answer:

My family.

        Let me introduce myself. My name is Irene, Ira for short. My full name is Irina Ivanovna Petrova. On the tenth of September I will be 17.   I am leaving school this year, and I would like to enter Vladimir University.

        My family is not very large: my mother, my father, my married sister and her husband and my grandparents. Every night the whole of the extended family sits down to eat together round the table in the bright and cosy kitchen. We discuss our problems. As far as I know, a household of three or four generations is typical nowadays. I think living in multi-generation home quite normal, we help each others, and our grandparents are getting older and they can be looked after. Plenty of families will soon find themselves forced into this lifestyle by rising house prices, the cost of childcare, and the cost of caring for elderly relatives.

          My mother’s name is Marina Pavlovna. She is 40. My mother is good-natured, cheerful and careful. She teaches English and she is devoted to her work. My mother also keeps the house for us. Even though we all try to help her, she has a lot of work to do about the house. My mum likes gardening, I wish I had more time to spend weekends out-of-town with my mum. Also she likes cooking. Her pies are really delicious. I have never tasted better pies in my life! I am very close with my mum. I can always turn to my mum for comfort.

            My father’s name is Pavel Andreevich. He is strong, handsome man of middle age. He is an architect, he works hard, but he takes care of his elderly parents. Also my dad likes sport. He is a great football fan. He never misses interesting games on TV. If he had more time, he would spend long hours watching sport, I am sure. He is fond of reading, listening to music. He prefers The Beatles, and I know a lot of their songs , my favorite is «Yesterday».

          My great grandmother is still alive. She lives in the village, she is in poor health and asks us to come and see her more often.  She took part in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945, my granny was awarded with two orders of Red Star  and one order  of the Great Patriotic War. Every year on the 9th of may on Victory Day we visit her.

           

-6b-

 I am close with my sister Olga. The advantage of having a sister is that you always have a person to talk to and you can share personal secrets with her. Not long ago  she got married. Her husband Anton has Ukraine background; he is very hospitable and friendly. He lives with in-lows and he is happy. Olga and Anton study in the University.

              Our parents teach us some values and principles .We have things together sharing like dreams and hopes. With so many people in one house you don’t have a chance to be alone, unseen but I have privacy. All members of my family have mutual respect, we trust each others. We take care of our grandfather and grandmother. So, caring, sharing, respect, security, privacy and trust are the main values in my family. We remember about the golden rules «Do unto others as you would have them do unto you», «put ourselves in the other’s shoes».Members of my family don’t have problems of misunderstanding. I know my parents would never let me down, it is easy to get along with them. Sometimes it happens that my parents and I have different views on when I can do some things alone: go shopping, choose what to eat and wear, what time to come home, with whom to go out, etc. But on the whole the climate  in our family is pleasant and calm.

          I love my relatives very much and we are happy when we are together. I am sure that a family is the most important thing in the life of every person . It is a place where all members can enjoy the dignity of there own personalities. We need a family for comfort and protection.

                                                        Sisters.

     « Dear Kathy! Chance made us sisters, hearts made us friends.»  This quote is at the center of a collage of photographs- covering our twenty- something years – that now hangs in my office. My sister, Susie, made it for me as a wedding present. It probably cost very little to make ( she is starving college student, after all), but it means more to me than any of the more  « traditional»  wedding presents my husband and I received from family and friends last June. Whenever I look at the collage, it reminds me of my sister and what a true friend she is.

     Susie and I were not always close friends. Far from it, in fact. We shared a room for nearly fifteen years when we were younger, and at the time I thought I could not have asked for a worse roommate.  She was always around! If we argued and I wanted to go to my room to be alone, she’d follow me right in. If I told her to go away, she’d say right back, « it is my room. Too! And I can be here if I want to!» I `d consult my mother and she usually agreed with Susie.  I suppose being three years younger has its benefits.

     When we were kids, she’d borrow my dolls without asking. (And no toy was safe in her hands). When we got older, Susie quit borrowing my toys and started borrowing my clothes. That was the final straw. I couldn’t take anymore. I begged my parents to let me have a room of my own – preferably one with a lock on the door. The answer was always a resolution «no». «Please?!» I’d beg. My parents would just shake their heads. They didn’t agree with each other on much, but for some reason they had a united front on this issue.

     To crown it all, she had this habit of doing everything. I did. Choirs, rock bands, sport teams, dance studios: There was no place where I was safe. « She looks up to you”, my mom would say. I didn’t care. I just wanted a piece of my life that didn’t involve my little sister. When I complained to my mother, she’d just smile and say, «one day you’ll want her around. » Sure.

    It’s strange how mothers have their habit of being right about everything. When I was sixteen and my sister was thirteen, we went through a series of life- changing events together that would forever change our relationship. First, my parents announced that they were divorcing. My dad packed up and moved to an apartment in New Hampshire- more than a half hour drive away from a cozy house in Massachusetts. He bought me my first car and I often went with Susie to his place when we missed him a lot. During those trips we started discussing our troubles and making plans about how to return the family again. But a year later, our father

-10b-

met his future second wife and moved again; this time to Indiana. This meant we could only see him once or twice a year, as opposed to once every few weeks. That was hard.

      Yet those few months changed my relationship with my sister forever. We started having more heart- to- heart talks as opposed to silly fights. Over time, she became my most cherished friend. It’s not uncommon for us to have three-hour long telephone conversations about everything or about nothing- just laughing over memories from childhood or high school.

      She’d the only person who’s been through all of the tough stuff that I’ve been through, and the only person who truly understands me. Susie and I have shared so much. She’d been my roommate, my   friend, and my partner in crime. We’ve done plays together, gone to amusement parks, sang, and taken long road trips together. We’ve laughed until our sides hurt, and wiped away each others` tears.

Even though distance separates us now, we’re closer than ever. Sisters share a special bond. They’ve seen all of your most embarrassing moments. They know your deepest, darkest secrets. Most importantly, they love you unconditionally. I’m lucky to be able to say that my little sister is my best friend. I only wish everyone could be so fortunate.

     Dear Colin,

     Thank you for your letter. I was so glad to receive it.

     You want to know about the problems of Russian teenagers. I know that the most important problem is a generation gap. The young prefer to make their own mistakes rather then listen to the warnings of the adults. I don’t have a problem of generation gap. Sometimes my father teaches me how to live, my mum treat me like a baby, but I am sure that I can always turn to my mum for comfort and she would never let me down.  There are some rules that we follow. Having supper we discuss our problems. Celebrating holidays with all relatives is a good tradition. We always take care of our grandparents.

      How old are your grandparents? How often do your visit them? Would you like to live with them?

     Write back soon.

     Best wishes,

      Ira.

   Dear Sam,

   Thank you for your letter. I was glad to receive it.

   You ask me about children’s homes. Well, I can’t remember ever having a normal family life. My parents couldn’t look after me properly as they drink quite a bit. So I have to stay with in the children’s home. Although the children’s homes are okay, they are not the best place to live. The staff are nice and friendly, but you are surrounded by strangers.  I have to share my room and keep my stuff in a suitcase under the bed. When I leave school, I’m going to have my own family and a flat to live in.

   Do you know anything about your parents? Did they look after you in your childhood? Do you want to live with them?

   Write back soon.

   Best wishes,

   Ira.

   Dear Kelly,

 

   Thank you for your letter. I was glad to receive it.

 

   You ask me about my brothers and sisters. Well, I have a little sister. I have to share my room with her. I can’t just shut the door, and keep everyone out. She is always complaining that it’s her room, too.  I guess she goes through all my stuff and eats the sweets I keep in my room. If I want to keep anything secret, I have to use a lock and key on my cupboard. I’m going to leave home as soon as I’m old enough. I wish I had one tiny room of my own.

 

   Do you have brothers or sisters?  Do you share your room with them?  Do you want to be the only child in the family?

   Dear Jane,

   Thank you for your letter. I was glad to receive it.

   You asked me about my grandparents. I have got a grandmother. Her name is Vera Ivanovna. She is 75. She is a pensioner, but she is still very active and energetic. She has told me a lot about my grandfather and my great grandparents. They had died before I was born. She told that my great grand father had taken part in the Great Patriotic War, and had been awarded with two orders of Red Star. Every year on the 9th of May we go to the cemetery and put flowers on the tomb of my hero-great-grandfather. It is a tradition in our family.

   Have you got grandparents? How old are they? Do you take care of them?

   Write back soon.

   Ira.

Do you want to have brothers and sisters? Many people don’t know the answer.

Write about advantages and disadvantages of having brothers and sisters.

What is your opinion?

Write 200-250 words.

Use the following plan:

-make an introduction (state the problem)

- express your personal opinion and give reasons for it

-give arguments for the other point of view and explain why you don’t agree with it.

- draw a conclusion.

      Do you want to have brothers and sisters? It is an ordinary question. Many people think it is good to have brothers and sisters, others do not agree. Let us consider what the advantages and disadvantages of them are.

   First of all, sisters and brothers are very close to each other. As for me, I have a sister and I have a person to talk to and I can share my personal secrets with her. Another good thing is that brothers and sisters look after their parents when they become old. It is really difficult to take care of an old person, who is sometimes mentally handicapped, but it is easier to overcome difficulties together, for example my mother’s brother always helps her to take care of my old granny, because my granny is 81, and she  really needs it.

    Other people think that younger brothers and sisters are a problem. They have to share their rooms. I suppose, they interfere in the life of each other and it means nothing is safe, but my sister always understands me. There is one more opinion about it. Sometimes parents don't have enough money to satisfy their children’s needs. In my family we always decide together how to spend money.

    In conclusion, I believe brothers and sisters make our life more comfortable and calm. People who have them are lucky, because brothers and sisters change our life for the better.

           Interviewer: So Mike, you mentioned your family , do you have a big family?

Mike: No, I have a fairly small family, actually, including me there are only four people in my family.

Int: So it’s your mother, your father , you…

M:  And my sister

Int: Oh, and your sister. OK, is your sister younger or older than you?

M:  She is younger. She is just started university actually

Int: OK, that’s nice. So where does your family live right now?

M:  Ah, my mother and my father live in Victoria in Canada and my sister is on the other side of Canada in Montréal in Quebec and I live in the capital.

Int: Well, tell me about your father. What’s your father like?

M:  My father is pretty much the most interesting person I know. He tells different kinds of stories about his childhood, and his growing up.

Int: Did he grow up in Canada?

M:  No, he grew up in Liverpool, in England.

Int: OK, nice, and what does your father do?

M:  Ah, he was a pilot until five years ago. It was kind of tragic, he had a heart attack and he wasn’t allowed to fly anymore.

Int: Oh, I’m sorry

M:  He’s fine now, yeh.

Int: OK, what about your mother? Does she work?

M:  No, she doesn’t. she used to work. They both work for Cathay Pacific airline. My mother was a stewardess and my father was a pilot. She was first introduced to him as a new member of the crew when they flew together to Osaka.

Int:  Oh, What a story. OK and what about your sister? You said that she`s a student.

M:  She’s a student. She’s in her first year in Mc Gill University which is in Quebec I haven’t spoken to her lately so I don’t know how she’s doing.

Int:  So you and your sister, are you similar or quite different?

M:  Oh, we are definitely quite different.

Int : How so?

-13b-

M:  I was a rebellious type. I pretty much laid the foundation for my sister to get all the freedoms that she has – Mum and Dad treat her differently now. But she doesn’t appreciate any of those things. Another way that we’re different is that she is really into arts and drawings and paintings and making music whereas I am more into the technical side of things , like computer making, fixing cars.

Int:  So it sounds like you are quite different. Well, maybe she’ll listen to this and she’ll appreciate you more

M: I hope so.
