Sample two: I love both of them equally. My folks can always give me good advice when I need it from them. We shouldn’t take our parents for granted. Sample three: Just like most other Chinese parents, mine are pretty strict. (Or：I had a very strict upbringing家教.) Even though they are not lenient, I would never trade them for anything.

Please tell me something about your family.
Which members of your family do
you get on well with?
I’m really close to my brother because we are so similar in age that we have lots of friends in common, so
Sample one: My family is a small nucleus one — my dad, my mom and me. It’s not like a traditional Chinese family with many kids and grandparents. Sample two: My parents have three children, one son and two daughters. I am their daughter, and I have an elder sister and younger brother. There are five members in my family. We all live together under the same roof.
Sample three: My immediate family is quite small — I just have one brother and of course, my parents. But my extended family is huge because my parents are both from large families so there are lots of aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews. Sample four: I grew up in a very close, loving family, which consists of/is made up of my parents and me. As the only child in my family, sometimes I feel lonely because I have no siblings.

we socialize together as well. We’re
interested in similar sorts of things,
like rugby, soccer and cricket and
we get on really well.
How often does your family get together to see each other?
Sample one: My extended family probably only gets together about once or twice a year for big events like weddings, funerals, important birthdays and holidays. It’s really great when we’re all together because there’s always so much news to catch up on. Sample two: Eating together as a family has a particular significance in children’s lives. However, due to the increasing work pressure, we’re so busy these days even eating together seems like a challenge for us.
