Well,it's kinda like a stupid question. We are asked to talk about our families in the Oral English's final exam.One-minute speech.I don't want to just talk about how many people is in my family and what my parents do.So if you were me,what kind of aspects will you talk about your family? Looking forward to your replies.

well,i got a family members of 6..kinda normal family but i'm the only daughter with 3 smaller brothers..maybe what special in my family is i got twin naughty brothers yet they are soo clever..we call our dad as the walking encyclopedia cuz he seemed to know everything!he reads a lot so if anything we have to ask,we just ask him..hehe..my mum is a strict high school teachers who taught the same school that i'm in before..(talks about the whole school knowing me the second day i enrolled)..pretty hard because she always around..but she know what best for us..ya see we have a strong bond though sometimes we fight and there will be conflicts between siblings..no big deal..but no one hate their family right!!

Hehe.It's really lucky for you to have such a large family and so many siblings.I have none due to the one-child-only policy in China.I feel really lonely sometimes since I don't have a sibling to talk to. Yeah,we all love our families. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day!

Yeah,maybe you will quarrel or even fight with your siblings sometimes,but you will always make up at last,right?

Hi there Baby Anna! Well, if I am to talk about my family, I would describe us as a family. How close we are, what do we usually do when facing a problem and tell them about how we bond and spend quality time with each other. How our family was then, now, and how I wish we would be in the future. Good luck!

A happy family - I have a happy family and I love my family a lot.
Hello babyana. Like you, I don't like to talk about my family. I think that it is some privacy, but if I have to, it is ok. As to your class situation, I can understand it because family like other topics is a good one in training the students' oral English. Also in an oral English test, it is included as well. But you may think of a wise way to talk about your family briefly if you have no desire to talk too much. Take care, Anna.
