: Model Answer

A family is the most important place for any individual and it is considered as the root of people. Without a family, one cannot have a decent and happy life. I also live in a family consisting of several members

In my family, basically, we are five members altogether. They are – my parents, my younger sister and younger brother and me. We five people live in our own apartment. Besides, we have some other relatives who are family members too and they live adjacent to us. If I count them, the number will be more. Most of the members are related to me either from my father or my mother. But the number of my maternal relatives and family member is more from my paternal part. I am too lucky that all of them love me much

My father is a government worker and serves in the District Council while my mother is a housewife and she takes care of the family. My younger sister is a student of 10th grade while the brother is in his 6th grade, and I am a university student. As a District Council officer, my father remains busy always and even he is to bring some work at home to complete as he cannot execute the massive tasks within the budgeted time of his office. My mother remains busy with her household chores as we do not have any domestic help. My sister and brother remain occupied with their studies while I pass my day in the university and return home at night

I am lucky to have such a family. All the members of the family are highly intimate with me and I am to them too. The interpersonal relationship with all the family members in my family is fine and we do truly care for each other. When someone is in any sort of trouble or in any difficulty, we try to provide necessary supports immediately so the situation could be solved. Moreover, I always try to help my siblings in their studies and sometimes my father also helps them in completing their school assignments. Besides, my mother takes every form of care for us all. She is the one who is the key member of the family. I have a very good relation with my father but the relationship is better with my mother and I pass more time with her when I am at home on my off-days

My family is important to me for different reasons. First of all, it is the place where I belong to. Literally, at the end of the day, I return to my home where my family lives. I cannot think that I am living without my family. When I was younger, my family members provided me with all forms of necessary supports and I am highly grateful to my parents for their unconditional supports they provided me and still they are playing the same roles as they did after my birth. I am happy with my two siblings and cannot imagine my life without them. My family is my life and thus it is most important for me than any other thing
