ABOUT MYSELF

My name is Vladimir. I am a first year student of the Omsk Technical University.

My family is rather large. My home town is Omsk, and my father is an engineer at one of the city’s plants. My father is not yet fifty. My mother is a teacher at one of the secondary schools of the city. She teaches Russian and Russian literature and is very fond of her work with the children.

My brother is three years older than I. He has served two years in the Army, and now he works at a plant as a turner. Next year Pavel is going to enter the evening department of the Technical University.

My sister Olga studies at school, she is in the 10^th form. After finishing school she is going to enter the Pedagogical University. Olga is fond of music and plays the piano.

We have a grandmother. She keeps house and has much work to do during the day. We all try to help her.

We have many relatives. They live in Omsk and in other cities. They often come to see us at our place, or we go to see them.
