      I enjoy spending time with my family. I think the main reason for this is that all members of my family have so much in common!

      For example, my sister and I like playing computer games, we can spend hours in front of the computer screen trying to find out a way to solve a task that a computer game assigns us.

      I also like to go fishing with my dad. We have a lot of fun when we are away from home, deeply in the wood. We light a fire, cook dinner for ourselves while watching our fishing rods. Sometimes we are lucky with our catch, sometimes not, but we like getting back home a little tired but happy.

      And of course, I love spending time with my mom too. More often than not we spend hours in the kitchen preparing something delicious for dinner. We find a recipe in a cooking book, as a rule, it is a sophisticated one and start cooking. Our results always exceed our hopes, and even our neighbours say that my mum and I are the best cookers of the neighbourhood!
