MY FAMILY
Hello!
My name is Gregory Smith, I’m twelve years old and I’m a
student.
I live with my family in a small town in England.
My family is not very big.
My father, Oliver, is forty-two. He is a scientist and works on a
project at the university.
My mother, Alice, is thirty-nine years old and she is a
housewife. She takes care of us; she is always there when we
need her.
My sister Melinda studies at the High School but this year her marks weren’t very good.
We have got an excellent relationship with our parents.
Our grandparents live in a far away village, so we only meet at Christmas time.
At weekends we stay at home or we visit our friends.
I love my family!
