My Big Family

My name is Daniel and I am eleven years old. I live in a flat in Ourense with my parents, my younger sister and our dog, Rocky. My family is quite big because I have got three grandparents, two uncles, an aunt and four cousins.

My mum, Laura, is thirty-nine years old. She has got short brown hair and brown eyes. She is a nurse and she works at a hospital. My dad, David, is forty-one. He has got black hair and he is very tall. He is a mechanic.

My sister, Clara, is eight years old. She has got long blonde hair and blue eyes. She loves animals and she wants to be a vet one day. I have got two cousins who are almost my age, so we often play football or video games together.

At weekends, there is usually a lot of noise in our house because my grandparents sometimes visit us. We have lunch together and my grandmother makes delicious food. I really like having a big family because there is always someone to talk to or have fun with.
