Sample answer
about 140 words · 1 minuteI want to tell you about my family. There are four people in my family: my father, my mother, my younger sister, and me. We live in a small house with a lovely garden. My father works as an accountant and he is very funny. My mother is a teacher and she cooks delicious meals for us every day. My sister is ten years old and she loves drawing pictures. On weekends, we usually go to the park near our house. We play games together and ride our bicycles. My mother always brings delicious snacks for our picnic. Sometimes we stay at home and watch movies together on the sofa. I love my family very much because they always support me when I am tired or sad. Spending time with my family makes me feel warm and happy every day.
