There are four people in my family: my parents, my brother and me. My mother is a teacher. She likes books and long walks. My father works in a shop and loves cooking. My brother is twelve. He plays football after school. On Sundays, we make lunch together and visit my grandmother. I like our family lunches because we talk a lot.
