Good afternoon. Today we have asked five people to give us a short interview and share their opinions about their families. Now we would like to present their opinions to you.
Our family is not large, but we spend lots of time together. Unlike most families, we don’t only get together in the evenings and at weekends, but we see each other a lot during the daytime in our family bakery. It’s a family business. It was set up by my grandfather and now
my parents run it. My granddad is still in charge of all the accounting matters. I help in the bakery shop and my brother delivers fresh bread and buns to our regular customers.
I have three siblings, which makes four kids in the family all in all. That means plenty of housework, especially for Mum. She usually does most of the shopping, and we try to help her with the cleaning, at least with keeping our rooms clean. As the oldest sister, I also try to look after the younger ones. Dad always washes the dishes and often helps Mum with cooking, which is his hobby, by the way. Doing things together really helps us have more time for each other.
I have ten siblings and dozens of cousins, nieces, nephews, in-laws, you name it. We now all live in different places and even countries. However, we have no problem keeping in touch. We regularly call each other, text, send email and photos. So, we can keep up with life events. I even send cards and letters in the old-fashioned way. We also try to get together as often as possible – usually for big family events where the majority of us will show up.
My sister and I are twins, and people think we should be inseparable because they believe we are very much alike. Well, partially, that’s true. We spend a lot of time together. We do look very much alike, but we are very different in character. She is very calm and relaxed, while I am bubbly and very emotional. She is very ladylike and wears nice dresses. And my all-time favourites are jeans and sneakers. Despite this, we get along really well and never quarrel.
I enjoy it greatly when our family gets together. It doesn’t happen very often, unfortunately, because we live in different cities and everyone is always so busy. But there is a day when we put off all our other plans and come to our grandparents’ house for a special party. We all look forward to this day. We exchange news, discuss our plans, chat and enjoy the most delicious cake our grandmother makes for this day. It’s huge and everyone takes a piece of it.
