Lesson 1: How to describe a family

My family consists of 4 people. There's my father whose name is _____, my mother whose name is ______, my brother ________ and of course, me.

My father is ____ years old. He works as a ___________ in _________. He is tall and slim, has got short, curly and brown hair and blue eyes. My father likes gardening as well as listening to music and reading books. His special hobbies are travelling and playing football.

Now I'll describe my mother and my brother. My mother is 47 and she works as a nurse in a hospital. She is small and slim, has short brown hair and green eyes. She likes cooking and travelling. My brother is 16. He is slim and has short brown hair and blue eyes. He attends the second year at Liceo _______ in Cles. He is interested in computers and sports like football and tennis. He also spends a lot of time with his friends.

I haven't got any pet.

My parents have assigned me certain duties around the house. I don't mind helping out because everyone in a family should contribute in some way. Even though my brother and I sometimes fight about who has to do what job, we are still very close. My parents respect each other's opinion and even if they disagree they can always come to a compromise. I hope in the future that I have a family like ours.
