My family is the best. I love my family. I have a mom, dad, grandparents, younger sister, uncle (father's brother) and cousins - twins (Mike and Vlad) . My mom and dad are very kind. My mother is a doctor and my father is an engineer. My grandparents 65 years old. They live in the village and we often go to visit them. My sister Ana 6 years old, she goes to kindergarten. And we have a dog, his name is Rex. I want my family that used to live forever, and once we did not lose each other. Моя семья Моя семья самая лучшая. Я люблю свою семью. У меня есть мама, папа, бабушки и дедушки, младшая сестра, дядя (брат отца) и двоюродные братья - близнецы (Mиша и Влад). Моя мама и папа очень добры. Моя мать врач, а отец инженер. Мои бабушке и дедушке 65 лет. Они живут в деревне, и мы часто ходим к ним в гости. Моей сестре Ане 6 лет, она ходит в детский сад. И у нас есть собака, его зовут Рекс. Я хочу чтобы моя семья была всегда, и мы никогда не потеряли бы друг друга.
