Read Mike's list of things to do on Saturday. What did he do? What didn't he do?

Так как father=отец=можно заменить на он, то правильно будет does your father read newspapers?

My family isn't large. besides my parents i have an elder sister whose name is irina. she is 19 and she is a student of the institute. she  can play the piano  very well but she  can't speak english  as her friend can. i am masha. i am 13 and i am a student of the secondary school. i am not very tall but i am not short either. i  like  skating and reading. but i  can't play chess  as my father can. my mother's name is inna vasilievna. she is 39 and she is a nurse in our hospital. my mother is very pretty and kind. she  can draw very well  but she  can't play the piano  as my granny and my older sister. my father's name is ivan petrovich. he is 42 and he is a driver in the same hospital. my father is very strong and strict. he  likes to play chess  but he  can't draw  as well as our mother can/. our granny doesn't live with us, but she lives not far from our house so i  often come to see  her on sundays. we are a friendly family and we try to get along with each other and try  to discuss  our problems and to solve them  together.    моя семья небольшая. кроме моих родителей у меня есть старшая сестра, чье имя ирина. ей 19, и она учится в институте. она хорошо умеет играть на пианино,но не умеет говорить по- как ее подруга. я маша. мне 13 лет,   и я учусь в средней школе. я не высокая, но я не маленькая. я люблю кататься на коньках и читать. но я не умею играю в шахматы как мой отец. мою маму зовут инна васильевна. ей 39 лет, и она работает медсестрой в нашей больнице. моя мама красивая и добрая. она умеет хорошо рисовать, но не умеет играть на пианино как моя бабушка и моя старшая сестра. моего отца зовут иван петрович. ему   42 года, и он работает водителем в той же больнице. мой отец сильный и строгий. он любит играть в шахматы? но не умеет так хорошо рисовать как мама. наша бабушка не живет вместе с нами, но она живет не далеко от нашего дома, поэтому я часто прихожу к ней по воскресеньям.  мы дружная семья, и мы стараемся ладить друг с другом, мы обсуждаем наши проблемы и стараемся решить их вместе.

we live in a large beautiful house.but there is one room which is very loved by all family. it is our living room.she is adopted so not by chance - exactly we host here, conduct family reunions and mark holidays. but not only a room is notable these. all our family likes to gather here, to talk, listen music, look television. in the middle rooms,, there are a large soft sofa and two deep arm-chairs. so pleasantly, taking a seat on a sofa, to have a drink the cup of fragrant tea with pastries and rolls, which always are in our house!

and when after a window coldly and rainy, i very like to settle down in an arm-chair, wrapped in warm plaid, and to read a favourite book or look an interesting film. our dad recently bought new columns to television, with them looking films is far better and interesting - as though in the cinema. this impression is from by volume стереозвука. so i already revised all cassettes which are in our house again. the impression is quite unforgettable!
