I Love My Family

I live in a big house with all my family. There are seven of us, including my grandfather,

father, mother, and my younger siblings. I have two younger brothers and an older sister.

My grandfather came to this country as an immigrant. He found a job on a ranch, working

with horses. He then met my grandmother and they soon married. They had only one

child; she is my mother. Everyone gets along well with each other. We make sure that

we do our chores before our father reminds us. We also love to gather around

grandfather when he tells one of his stories about growing up in the old country.
Introduce myself
Hello! My name is Ana. I am twenty-five years old. I live in Miami, Florida with my

husband and two children. I have one son in kindergarten and one daughter in first grade.

They both attend public school. My husband is a mechanic. On weekends, he works at

a restaurant as a dishwasher. The restaurant usually gets more customers on weekends,

so they need extra people to wash dishes.

Family
My name is Sangeeta. I am 11. I live in New Delhi, India with my father, mother, two

brothers and three sisters. My grandparents also live with us. In India, family is very

important. It is common to have grandparents, aunts, uncles and/or cousins living in the

same house. My aunts, uncles and cousins also live nearby. We see each other often.

My older brother is a computer programmer. Right now, he is in Australia. His company

sent him there for one year. We all miss him a lot. We write him letters every week. I want

him to come home soon.
