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  can 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.
