My Family

Essay No. 01

My family consists of my father, mother, elder brother, and myself. We all love each other very much, though you wouldn’t believe it if you saw us at home, especially when my brother and I have had a fight!

Father is always busy. Sometimes he goes to the office even on a Sunday. I know he is doing very well because I have heard people talking of him with respect. Once in a while he notices me and is then very affectionate. I love him a lot because I know that he is always there, even though it is only in the background. I don’t get angry any longer when he introduces me to his friends by my nickname and says that I am studying in Class Six, when I am actually in Class Seven.

Mother is warm, caring and impulsive, but not the world’s greatest cook. However, when she gets into the mood and goes on a cooking spree, we have a good time. I think she is frightfully clever because, apart from managing a career, she manages a home, a husband and the two of us. She is not always around, but I’ve got used to that by now and try not to let that bother me.

Then there is my brother. I seriously feel something should be done about brothers, specially elder ones. He teases me mercilessly and considers me a blot upon the surface of the earth. What is worse, he expects me to fetch things for him and does not allow me to use the telephone or listen to my favourite singer. And, of course, watching my favourite television programme is simply out of question.

As for myself, I am twelve years old, fond of reading but not very keen on studying. I don’t know what my family thinks of me, but I do know that despite all our differences we are crazy about one another, and put up a united and formidable front, specially in the face of unfortunate circumstances.

There are six members in my family, including me. I have my grandparents, my parents, and an elder sister. We live in Serangoon in a five-room flat.
