People around me

Frankly speaking, I am a happy person: I have loving parents and grandparents, good friends, talented students in my group and all people around me are really respectful.

I have a traditional family of four: mother, father, sister and me. I live with my parents in the flat, but I have also grandparents. They are on a pension. My grandparents live in the village. In summer I like to visit them. They always give me good advice and they are ready to help me when I need it. I don’t know what I will do without them. I know that I can rely on them. I have also many relatives. At leisure I visit them and play with their children.

I have a lot of friends: male and female. I also think that I understand them completely. I love and respect my friends and I am afraid of losing them.

I study at Technologies and Business College and I have a large group. I try to be in touch with all of my friends and students at college. I keep up also friendly relations with teacher’s stuff of our college.
