We are a close-knit family. We get on well and spend a lot of time together. In case of trouble, we usually get behind each other. Even if we are far away from each other, we are always stay in touch. We can confide in each other and it's very valuable for us. We are very different but we never have really big rows. But if we fall out, we always manage to find a compromise. We enjoy having time together and never get bored. My parents can get through to me and I appreciate their efforts because it's not easy to communicate with a teenager! My mum is a housewife and my dad is an engineer. Mum is very good at cooking and we often have guests and every Friday we have big dinner and all relatives are invited. My dad is fond of his work and he has designed a lot of inventions. My grandmother used to be a doctor but she retired some years ago. She always gives us some useful advice when we are ill. My grandfather used to be a cook and he is still keen on cooking. Every weekend he prepares a new unique dish for us. We are a really happy family!
