My mother’s name is Valentyna Ivanivna Petrenko. She is forty years old. But to my mind she looks much younger. My father and I think that she is a very beautiful woman. Mom is not tall, but she has a fine figure. Father says she is still as slim as she was in her youth. She also has beautiful hair, long and wavy. My mother is a busy woman. She works as an accountant at a factory. She also has a lot of work to do about the house, though Dad and I try to help her as much as possible. Mom is a very nice person. She has a lot of friends. She is kind, energetic and always ready to help. She has a good sense of humour and is funny to be with.
