My name is Ekaterina. I’m twelve years old. I want to tell you about my mother. Her name is Elena. Her second name is Mihaylovna. She was born in Moscow. My mother graduated from Moscow State University. She works as a lawyer but now she looks after my younger sister. She is only one year old. In spite of all the troubles with my sister she always manages to do everything: to tidy our flat, cook delicious dinner and she always has time for talking to me. My mother is kind, loving, affectionate and caring. She can give me a piece of advice and help at any time. It feels cosy and cordial next to her. My mother is a good housewife. She teaches me how to sew, knit and bake pies. I missed her when I was staying with my grandfather and grandmother. I can’t live without her. She is the dearest person in my life. When I grow up I want to be like her.
