My Family
My immediate family consists of my mother, my father and my baby brother. My grandparents live in another part of the country so I don’ t get to see them very much. I get on well with my parents and they encourage me to express myself. They say that my life is my own and that I have to take responsibility for the choices I make. I wouldn’ t want to live without my family as they are the centre of my life.
About my family
My family has five members and we are all very close. My mother, father, and grandmother take good care of my little sister and myself. Even though my parents work long hours, they always find some time to spend with my sister and me. We try to eat together every night when it is possible. I am proud that I can talk about anything with my parents and grandmother. I really think my grandmother is great, as she has lived such an interesting life and always gives great advice. We all think family is very important and enjoy spending time together. We often go to the beach or for a picnic on Sundays. We also play card games together or spend an evening talking and laughing.
What makes friends different from family?
Friends are people we choose to be close to. They are people we get on well with. They usually have the same interests as us. Friends may live far away from you and so you have to make an effort to keep in touch with them. Family members, on the other hand, live in the same house as you and may be totally different from you!
My best friend
My best friend’ s name is Alex. We’ ve been friends for years. She’ s very kind and she’ s never mean to anybody. I enjoy spending time with her. She’ s a little moody at times but I don’ t mind that at all. What drives me crazy, though, is when she gets jealous of me.
About friendship
A good friend is kind and is always there when you need them. He / She is also helpful, loyal and strong and always knows what to do. I think it’ s good to have a lot of casual friends because then you will always have someone to go out with and spend time with. I think it’ s much better to have a few close friends who you can trust and rely on. Casual friends are not as loyal as close friends and they may let you down or not be there for you when you need them. A friend who helps you when you really need help is a true friend.
Good friends are like stars. You don’ t always see them, but you know they are always there.
Some of my best friends are people I only see occasionally. But when we get together, it’ s like they have always been in our lives. Our friends are only a phone call away. We can speak to them when we need to. You can think about your friends and support them even if you are not nearby.
