About My Family and Myself
Part 1.
Let me introduce myself. My name is Yuriy Kostenko. I am fifteen years old. I am a school-leaver of the secondary school №2 of town Smila. My family lives in Smila in a private house. My parents have one more child besides me. Thus I have got my elder sister Tanya. She is 5 years my senior. So she is twenty already. She is a technologist by profession. She is married. Her husband is an engineer. They work at the baker's plant. They are three in the family. They have a daughter. So I have a niece. She is a lovely little kid with golden hair and dark blue eyes.
My parents are not old at all. Daddy is forty-four and Mum is four years his junior. My grandparents are already pensioners, but they are still full of life and energy. I have many relatives - aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Part 2.
My father is an engineer in computers and my mother is a teacher of English at school. They like their work very much.
I am fond of reading books on history and fiction. I go in for sports. I like playing football (soccer), basketball and chess. I take part in different chess competitions and tournaments.
This year I finished nine forms of the secondary school and entered the mechanical department of the technical secondary school of food technology. So I am a first - year student now. I am a full – time student. I like to repair different machines. And I shall work at the enterprise of our town as a technician-mechanic or I shall have my own workshop, my private business. Actually I study well. I am particularly interested in some special subjects, computers and in the foreign language. I am sure that English will help me greatly in my future life and work. I have the opportunity to continue my studies at the Institute or University and to become an engineer.
