My Family
There are four members in my family. They are my parents; father and mother, my sister and I. We live in a lovely small house. It has five rooms. There are two
bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom, and a kitchen.
Let me tell you about my family. My mother is 47 years old.
Her name is Anisa. She is thin-faced
and she has long, blond hair and
beautiful brown eyes. She is
good-looking, elegant, and always well-dressed. My father, Lukman, is 5 years
older than my mother, so he is 52
years old. He has black-haired with
several grey hairs. He has bright
brown eyes as the same as my mother. He is
quite tall, but a bit shorter than me. He
is very hard-working. He works
in a travel company and sometimes, he
also helps my mother to serve for meals.
Then, the last is my sister, Nadina. She is 22 years old. She
has long, red, wavy hair and bright brown eyes. She is definitely shorter than me. Now, she is studying English in a college in Semarang.
They all very
love as I love them very much. We
live happy in our small house.
