My name is Alex, and I am 15 years old. I am from Moscow, Russia. Yes, I have a family. There are four people in my family: my mother, my father, my sister, and me. My mother's name is Anna, and my father's name is Sergei.

My mother is a teacher, and my father is an engineer. I have a younger sister. Her name is Maria, and she is 10 years old. My mother always <strong>criticizes the clothes I wear</strong>, but she also <strong>finds comfort and peace</strong> in our <strong>family</strong>. We <strong>misunderstand each other</strong> sometimes, because of <strong>tension</strong> and <strong>mistrust</strong>. I love my family very much, and we have many family traditions. We always celebrate birthdays and holidays together.
