* Honestly speaking, my family is really big. They are my mother, father, sister, brother, 2 grandmothers and 2 grandfathers, as well as Aunt and Uncle, and I am happy. Also, I have a dog and a little fish. I treat them as members of our family, too. We live in Moscow, in our own flat in the multi-storey building.
* It goes without saying that I love my family very much and I get along with my parents and siblings very well. I can’t imagine different relationships in our family. We understand each other and have a lot in common which is quite natural.
* You know, I like to spend all my free time with my family. The thing is that I am not so often free. In my pastime, usually at the weekend, we play board games, watch films, go for a walk with our dog, go skiing or sledging in winter, and so on. I like to spend my free time with my parents more than with my friends. Unfortunately, I have 8 lessons every day, a lot of extra classes, sport workouts, so we prefer staying at home instead of going to the theatre or cinema.
* My attitude to family relationships is very positive and sensitive, so to speak. I think family is so important that there is nothing like it in my life. I wish I could have the same family relationship, when I grow older.
In conclusion, I want to add that there is no place like home, as the saying goes. Your family is the greatest treasure you have. They always support you, help and make your life happy.
