Answer
I live in a small family with four members in a peaceful countryside. My parents are famers. Every morning they go to the field after preparing everything for us ready to go to school, and they come home to take a short break at about 11 o’clock and to prepare for lunch. Their work finishes at about 5 o’clock every morning. My elder brother is a junior at Nationai Sports University. He is usually far away from home and comes home three or four times a year on special hplidays such as National Day, April 30th and Lunar New Year. I am a student at the last year of high school, so I am under a lot of pressure. However, I always try my best to help my parents with housework. I like meal time very much because it’s time when we gather and share everything after a hard – working day.
