I have quite a large extended family but only the four of us live together in our apartment in a block of flats. Now I’ll describe my mother and my brother. My mother is forty-seven and she works as a nurse in a hospital. She likes bird watching and traveling, so whenever my parents are able to they go to some places interesting for nature watching. My brother is sixteen. He is slim and has short brown hair and blue eyes. He also attends high school. He is interested in computers and sports like football and hockey. He also spends a lot of time with his friends. I have only one grandmother left still living. She is in pretty good health even at the age of seventy-eight so she still in her own flat. I enjoy spend time with her when I can. Both my grandfathers died from cancer because they were smokers, which was really a great tragedy because I didn’t get a chance to know them. My other grandmother died just a few years ago. I also have a lot of aunts, uncles, and cousins. The cousin I’m closest too is my uncle’s daughter Pauline. We have a lot in common because we are both eighteen and so we are good friends. My parents have assigned me certain duties around the house. I don’t mind helping out because everyone in my family should contribute in some way. I help with the washing up, the vacuuming and the shopping. Of course I also have to help keep my room tidy as well. My brother is responsible for the dusting and the mopping. He also has to clean his own room. My parents work together to keep our home well maintained and it seems they always have some project or another that they are working on. I hope in the future that I have a family like ours. 31.
