There are six people in my family. There are my grandparents, my parents, my brother and I.

My father is 40 years old. He is an engineer. He works very hard. He gets up very early every day and he works for more than 10 hours a day. So he is always busy, and he looks very tired when he gets home.He likes reading newspapers. He usually reads it after supper. So he gets lots of news. My mother is two years younger than my father. She works as a doctor. She works in a very big hospital. She is hard-working and patient. She is not tall and has two big eyes. She loves my brother and me and she is very nice to us. She always buys some books for us. She wants us to be top students. She also cares for our diet and life.

My grandparents don't go to work any more. They have retired. They usually stay at home every day. In the morning they go to the park and do morning exercises. In the afternoon, they drink tea with their friends. In the evening, they enjoy themselves watching TV and reading newspapers.

I'm 12 years old. I like reading. I always read books after school. I like singing, too. My favourite singer is Angela. Her music is very nice. In my bedroom, there are lots of posters of Angela on the wall. My brother is three years older than I. I love him even though he troubles me sometimes.

We live in a flat in a building. The building is very modern. There are about ten floors and we live on the top floor. I think our flat is very wonderful.

Thanksgiving Day（感恩节）is a holiday in the U. S. A. It is celebrated（庆祝）every year on the fourth Thursday of November. Usually, family members and friends get together for a turkey（火鸡）dinner. People sometimes drive their cars to far places for a family reunion（团聚）, Many people also take Friday off and make it a long weekend holiday, because most Americans do not work on Saturdays and Sundays.
