My Family
There are four people in my family. Theres my father, whose name is John, my mother, Marie, my
brother, Peter and of course, me. I have quite a large extended family as well, but only the four of us
live together in our flat in a tall building. My father is fifty-two years old. He works as an accountant
in an insurance company. He likes gardening very much as well as listening to music and reading
books about political science. His special hobbies are bird watching and travelling.
My mother is forty-seven and she works as a nurse in a hospital. She likes bird watching and
travelling too, so whenever my parents can, they go some place interesting for nature watching.
Since we have a cottage with a garden, they both spend a lot of time there.
My brother is sixteen. He also attends secondary school. He is interested in computers and sports
like football and hockey. He also spends a lot of time with his friends and his girlfriend. I have only
one grandmother left. She is in pretty good health even at the age of seventy-eight, so she still lives
in her own flat. I enjoy spending time with her when I can. I also have a lot of aunts, uncles and
cousins. My favourite cousin is my uncles daughter Pauline. We have a lot in common because we
are both fourteen and so we are best friends.
My parents gave me certain chores around the house. I dont mind helping out because everyone in
a family should contribute in some way. I help with the washing up, the vacuuming and the shopping.
Of course I also have to keep my room tidy. My brother is responsible for the dusting and the
mopping. He also has to clean his own room. Although my brother and I sometimes fight about who
has to do what job, we are still very close. I am also very close to my parents and I can rely on them
to always help me.
