Hello. We’re the Rubtsov[2] family and we live in Armavir.

I’m Igor Rubtsov, a teacher at the Foreign Languages Department, Armavir State PedagogicalAcademy. I am fond of English. I enjoy working with the computer and playing football. I have a sister named Inna. She is a university teacher too. She is interested in the individual approach in teaching. Her hobbies are needle work, music and ballet.

My mother and my father are both teachers. Father is the teacher of Russian at the Philological Department, the Honoured Teacher of Kuban Region. He likes gardening and folk music very much. Mother is the the teacher of Pedagogical Science. She is fond of classical music, literature and computer.

We work and study from Monday to Saturday. We don’t work on Sundays. In the evenings we all like watching TV. My sister likes sewing. I prefer doing amateur dramatics at the university.

My parents like reading but my sister and I don’t! We like going out with our friends at weekends.
