Example: My Family

My parents are in their late seventies, they are already retired, my father worked for the government
for 20 years, and my mother had a grocery store, most people in my town have small business or
work for the government. It is not easy to find a job because about 20 % of people in my town have
no a job. Most people here live with their parents. My brother works as a teacher at a university and
my sister is a civil engineer. Nearly all people in my town study a carrier because there are many
universities in this city. Unfortunately, most of them don’t get a good job. That’s why my parents and
my siblings have been lucky, responsible, hardworking and very grateful.
