My family is an extended family, so there are a lot of people that live together. I live with my grandparents, my parents, and my older sister. My grandparents are very old, both of them are over ninety years old. Fortunately, they are still strong and have sound minds, so they still can spend time to play with their grandchildren. My father is a police officer, and I am very proud of him. He is tall, big and very strong. In normal days, he leaves at 7.30 in the morning and comes back home at 5.30 in the evening like many others officers. However; when there is a criminal case, he can be absent from home for a week. He is like a superhero for my sister and me, and he is a goal for me to try. Since he is not home frequently, my mother has a big responsibility to take care of my grandparents and us. She is a beautiful woman with bright skin and long straight black hair, but she is too busy with the house work that she does not pay much attention to her look. Every morning, she cooks a big breakfast for the whole family, and then she prepares to go to the market. My sister and I take the bus to go to school all by ourselves, and we try to share as many house chores with her as possible in our free time. My sister is like a copy of her, because her appearance matches 80 percents with my mother’s. Although both of my parents are busy, they always try their best to support our family and give us the biggest love. They are like treasures to me, and I am so lucky to have a family like that.

There are four people in my family: my parents, my younger sister and I. My father is a 45-year-old engineer. He spends most of his time in the building sites. That’s why he has a tanned skin. As soon as he comes home, he turns on the television to watch the news, relaxes for a while and then he takes a shower. In case my mother doesn’t cook dinner yet, my father is very happy to join hands and help her. Talk about my mother, she is a 40-year-old primary school teacher. Every morning, she is the one who wakes up earliest to prepare the breakfast, clothes and necessary things for my father, me and my sister. After we leave home to work or study, my mother will have a quick breakfast and drive to the primary school. After school, she runs fast to the market, buys some fresh food and backs to home to cook lunch. My father doesn’t come home at noon so only three of us eat and talk to each other during lunch. However, the lunch is still prepared very scrupulously. In general, my mother is a gentle caring woman and sometimes she is very strict. I have a younger sister who will be 8 years old next October. My sister is pretty, docile and hard studying. Every weekend, I take her to the park to have fun and we will buy some tasty ice creams. We are quite close and sometimes she makes me very angry because of her negligent habit. The last person in my family is me. I am studying in the second year of a Business Administration major at Hong Bang University. My schedule has changed frequently and I am also trying to get a scholarship to study abroad in Canada next year so I don’t spend much time with my family. But any time when I am free I try to help my mother in household chores and take care of my sister. In my family, each person has a different responsibility but we always stand together to enjoy happy moments, overcome the difficult time and solve the problems. I understand that there is nothing that is more important than my family. I love my parents and my lovely sister so much.
