Write sentences about your family and your friends.
MY FAMILY
A composition by Liuda Horova
It’s very important for everybody to have people, who love you, who understand you, whom you can apply to with your problems and who
will never betray you. For me these people are my family.
The heart of our family is my Mom – kind and loving, always ready to listen and help. She is 42, but she does not look her age: she looks
much younger. My Mom is slim, not very tall, but rather attractive with her blond long hair and beautiful blue eyes. She is a very busy woman
and she’s very clever and wise.
My Daddy is a very clever and educated person. In spite of his strictness, Dad is a very sociable person and makes a good company.
I should admit that I look like my mother in appearance (both blue – eyed and big - nosed), but I’m very much like my Dad in character. And
on the contrary: my elder sister Maiia looks like our Daddy in appearance and like Mom in character.
Maiia is 9 years my senior. She is tall, slim, blue – eyed and shy. Like our mother, Maiia is a kind – hearted, hard – working and friendly
person.
I think only people who like and dislike the same things can understand each other, so Maiia and I are good friends, we understand each
other, we share our problems. Maiia’s kindness and optimism always supports me in difficult situations.
Actually we are a very friendly family. We understand each other at first sight and come to help each other without any extra word.
In my opinion, only
people who like and
dislike the same
things can understand
each other. I can say it
about my family.
Liuda, let’s talk about
your family. What family
traits have you got in
your appearance and
character? Have you got
friends in your family?
What are they like?

16. I am going to write my report
about the history of my
family. I know some
ancestors in my mother’s
line. These ancestors are the
members of my family tree
who lived a long time ago.
Look at “MY FAMILY TREE’.

know about the history of
your family? Perhaps your
great grandfather came
from another country? Do
you have a relative who
lives far from you? What
would you like to know?

SOME INTERESTING PAGES OF THE HISTORY OF MY FAMILY.
A report by Liuda Horova
All members of my family took part in historic events in different times. My relatives created
their own patriotic pages in the book of history of our state. They put a lot of pages in that
book from the government of the tsar Nikolai II and the Great October Socialist Revolution till
the terrible events of the Great Patriotic War.
We hadn’t any shirkers or lazybones in our family. We didn’t like the phrase “my house I will
hide”. Courage and bravery run in the family. For example, one of my great grandfathers
was a leader among engine drivers in our town. He was decorated with different orders.
Another one took part in the building of Belomorsko – Baltiyskii Canal.
I know some established facts about one of my great grandfathers, who was a clairvoyant,
and another one was a lecturer of Moscow Polytechnical University.
I am so proud of my family.

18. Ex.10, p. 28 Oksana Karpiuk “English 7”
Remember one of the characters from a book or film (cartoon). Choose one of
them and describe his| her appearance and character.
MY FAVOURITE CARTOON CHARACTER
A project by Liuda Horova
My favourite film is “Shrek”. I like the film because
it’s an exciting story on a basis of a fairy tale. The
film has got several parts and fantastic special
effects. All the characters were created by
computers, but they look real. “Shrek” tells about a
monster who lives in a wood. His name is Shrek.
The Princess Fiona is a monster too. She is his
wife. Shrek and Fiona have three baby – monsters.
They are green, funny and cute.
This strange green family has a lot of friends: a
donkey, a wolf, a Gingerbread boy, Pinocchio etc.
But one of them is my favourite. His name is Puss.
I like cartoons and
“Shrek” is one of my
favourite computer
animation films. Let’s
talk about it!
Liuda, I would ask you about your
favourite film. Do you have any
favourite characters from a film or
cartoon?

19. He is red, green – eyed Puss – Boots. He
always puts his black hat, belt and boots on.
Puss – Boots has got his sword. He can
cross swords with enemies to protect his
friends, because he is brave and proud.
All pussies like Puss – Boots. I understand
them. He is so handsome and charming.
Puss likes to sleep on Shrek’s pillow and
laps too much milk, so he becomes fat and
lazy after it.
Sometimes he is so naughty. But Puss
begs his friends pardon with his beautiful
eyes.
Well, he is an attentive, friendly, devoted,
kind – hearted cat. Puss likes children and
they find him funny.
I like this character very much and look
forward next part of this film about his
amazing adventures.

20. OK. I’ll try and
put it into my
portfolio.
Try to remember
what you have
learnt from Unit 1
and test yourself.
