My Big Happy Family

Lucy An, 11 years old, 2014

¡¡¡¡We are six persons in my family. There are my grandfather, my grandmother, my dad, my mom, myself and my two year old little sister. We are a very happy family. Now I am going to introduce them to you. My grandfather and grandmother are really old, but they still have some little hobbies. Grandpa likes to play table tennis and grandma likes to sew, as well as cleaning up the rooms. They have retired and now live in a city in China. Now to present myself. My name is Lucy and I am now in the fifth grade at the International Primary School in Montreal. I have many hobbies and things that I like to do, such as: watching TV, painting pictures, drawing and designing pictures, eating snacks and others. During my free time, I often babysit my sister because she is too young and always makes problems, so someone always needs to look after her to make sure that nothing bad happens. I am going to talk about my dad now. My dad is a really funny person. He always jokes with me. He really does have a sense of humor. His hobbies are: playing on the computer, sleeping and eating ice cream (even though they aren¡¯t really hobbies, I still put them). He takes French lessons and he speaks a little bit of it. My mom is the cook of the house; she cooks very delicious dinners. Besides cooking, she likes to buy things, read novels and play with my little sister. My sister especially like plush toys; at home there is a whole box. She doesn¡¯t like to wear pants, but she needs to, so she cries every day because of this. Even with that, I still love my big family very much.
