Name: Sasha Oreshkin

Age: 8

Address: Lekarstvennoye village in Siberia, Russia

I live with my mum, stepfather, granny (called Babushka), brother Vanya who is six, and sister Yulya who is two.

My house
My house is made of wood. It has three rooms. There are always a lot of flowers around it in the summer.

Favourite food
Borsch. This is a soup made from potatoes, carrots, beetroot, cabbage and meat.

Helping at home
I fetch water from the well with my brother. I help with the cooking.

Favourite games
I like building houses out of snow. It takes all day. I can also build furniture inside the house from snow.

Best friends
At school my friends are Kolya and Artur. My best friend is my brother Vanya. At home I have a pet cat called Pushok (Fluffy) and a dog called Fil'ka.

My dreams
In my dreams, our house is turned into the Kingdom of Happiness. When I grow up I want to be a lorry driver.

At school I like reading best. There are only 14 children in my class.

My cat Pushok always sleeps on my bed - he is my toy and my blanket!
