Your Family

Describe your family. Do you have any brothers or sisters? Are they older or younger?

My family is not big.I have a younger sister who lives in Germany.My grandparents died several years ago.My father is an official in a bank.He travels every day to work by bus.He doesn't like his job because it's very stressful.The building where he works is always crowded and people are rude and annoying.He preferes to work in our farmyard or in the fields.There he can relax.We both like sports. He is the only religious person in my family.My mother was a chairwoman,now she is a pensioner.We have a big poultry-farm so she is never bored.She doesn't like cooking because my father and I are fastidious.We often have an argument.My parents are really impatient and easily offended.My sister is studying German in Augsburg.She is hard-working,ambitious and extroverted.She rarely comes home.She comes home only in the winter and summer holidays.Unfortunately we are not a really happy family.

    To me it looks like this is written by a person who has English as mother tongue. Excellent job. Keep going.

    Just something I've noticed: '' He prefers..", not ''He preferes''. Well done!

    I don't have a very large family but you may say i am quite alone because my parents and my only sister have died. I have four brothers and i am the youngest to all  but as we have a unit family system so they are living their own lives and I am in other country for earning my livelihood. I like reading the books on deffernt topics and hence i almost spend a lot of time in my room. I think we must live a life for others not for ourselves.  Good luck

    Very, very good, but not perfect!
    Frankly speaking, a rich story for learning English!
    I saved it!

    ''I think we must live a life for others not for ourselves.''

    That's very true!

    Brian le bon mo...
    Really, that is a wonderful example of fluent written English!  There is one area, however, that you need to address and that is punctuation; specifically, you must put a space after every period and after every comma.  I also noted some places where you might write this slightly differently for American English (in case you are interested.)
    My family is not big. I have a younger sister who lives in Germany. My grandparents died several years ago. My father is an official in a bank. He travels every day to work by bus. He doesn't like his job because it's very stressful. The building where he works is always crowded and people are rude and annoying. He [prefers, not “] to work in our farmyard or in the fields. There he can relax. We both like sports.
    He is the only religious person in my family. My mother was a charwoman [American English: cleaning lady, custodian, maid or janitor], [and] now she is a pensioner [American English “and now she is retired”]. We have a big poultry-farm so she is never bored. She doesn't like cooking because my father and I are fastidious. [You can also say “very particular about food,” or “very demanding,” or “very critical.”] We often have an argument. [That is grammatically correct, but it would be more natural to write, “We often argue,” or “We argue often.”] My parents are really impatient and easily offended. My sister is studying German in Augsburg. She is hard-working, ambitious and extroverted. She rarely comes home. She comes home only [for (or “during,” but not “in”)] the winter and summer holidays. Unfortunately we are not a really happy family.

    Brian
    P.S.  I lived in Augsburg for about 6 months when I was a teen-ager; it was lovely!

    hey, great work on this. if you want to improve, you could always join some sentences together, so the story is more flowing, and so the sentences aren't as short and jagged. for example; he prefers to work in our farmyard or in the field, because he can relax there. And; my grandparents died several years ago, and my father is an official in a bank. but yeah, fantastic work mate :)
