14. Reading. Ideal family

 

 

It's crucial to have a place where one can share their feelings without being judged or ignored. For me it's my home — it's where I'm surrounded by my loving family, where I can relax and feel comfortable.
I live with my parents and my sister. We live in a lovely house with a small beautiful garden. My Dad is \(47\), he's very clever and hardworking — the one who brings home the bacon. He's very handy around the house and he can fix anything! My Mum is \(45\), she's a smart, kind and self-sacrificing. She loves and cares about us very much.

My Mum and Dad have been together for \(25\) years now and they are inseparable. They are true soulmates who have lot in common, but they have different tastes in music and different hobbies. For example, Mum loves gardening and Dad likes ice hockey. But they have the same values in life and the same views on raising the children. My sister is \(10\), she a lovely girl, though sometimes we quarrel a lot. Being the older brother isn't easy!

  

I love time that we spend together — our family dinners, having tea and chatting about everything. But now and then I have problems with my Mum and Dad — they don't understand my tastes in clothes or music... I think that's a common teenage problem.

  

My Gran lives in the country and I visit her on holidays. When my sister and I were little, she used to tell us wonderful stories.

My parents are good at running the house and my sister and I always help them. Our relatives and friends like to come to our place. My parents are very hospitable everybody feels at home in our house.
