A story about my family is often asked to write in English at school. It is often difficult for a child to write a long text while maintaining the correct structure and English language. This article will help you compose a story about a family.

Story structure

The story of my family must start right. It should have an introductory part (very short), a main part that contains all the information, and also a conclusion, which is also quite short.

The first paragraph is the introductory part. You can start it with the following phrase:

I would like to give a talk about my family. (I would like to talk about my family.)

This is the end of the first paragraph.

The second paragraph is the entire main body of the essay. A family story in English depends on this paragraph. After all, here you need to tell in detail about your family. Points to be highlighted in the main part:

• Say, a small family or a big one.
• Name all family members and tell about each one separately.
• To say that your family is very friendly.
• Talk about common hobbies and pastimes.

In order to write the main part, you must use the following introductory phrases:

I think / suppose / presume / believe / guess ... (I think / assume / believe / believe)

In my opinion, ... (In my opinion, ...)

However, ... (Anyway ...)

Fortunately, ... (Fortunately, ...)

The third paragraph is the conclusion. In this paragraph, you need to notify that your story is over. This can be done with a very competent phrase:

That "s all I wanted to say. (That's all I wanted to tell you about).

Writing the main body of the story

A family story in English should start with a description of the size of your family. For example, if you have a large family, you need to say:

I have got a big family or My family is very big. (I have a large family. My family is very large.)

If your family consists of 4 or less persons, then it is considered small. Then you need to say:

I have a small family or My family is not very big. (I have a small family. My family is small.)

The story about my family needs to be supplemented by listing all the relatives:

My family consists of a mother, a father, a brother, a sister, a grandmother, a grandfather, an aunt, an uncle ... (My family consists of mom, dad, brother, sister, grandmother, grandfather, uncle, aunt etc.)

My mother "s name is ... (mom's name). I suppose that she is very beautiful and kind. She is 30 years old. She is a doctor. My mother is fond of reading classical books and watching interesting movies. (My my mother's name is ... I think she is very beautiful and kind. She is 30 years old. She works as a doctor. My mother loves to read classics and watch interesting films.)

The father of the family can be described as follows:

My father "s name is ... (father's name). I think that he is very tall man with beautiful gray-eyes. He is very hard-working man. He is 40 years old. He is an engineer. I think that he likes his interesting job so much. My father likes to go to the cinema with me. (My dad's name is ... I think he is a very tall man with beautiful gray eyes. He is very hardworking. He is 40 years old. He works as an engineer . I think he really loves his interesting work. My dad loves to go to the movies with me.)

A story about a family in English can turn out to be quite voluminous if you describe in detail each relative (this is in the event that your family is very large). If it consists of three relatives, then you can tell about each family member in some detail and your story will not turn out to be too long and uninteresting.

After describing your relatives, do not forget to say that you are very friendly:

My family is very friendly. (My family is very friendly.)

Our family is very united and happy. (Our family is very friendly and happy.)

The story about my family needs to be supplemented with information about what you are doing with your relatives. For example:

I like to go fishing with my father. (I love going fishing with my dad.)

When we have a free time, we always spend it together. (When we have free time, we always spend it together.)

I like to go to the park or to the cinema with me lovely sister. (I love going to the park or to the movies with my beloved sister.)

My mother and I like to watch interesting movies. (Mom and I love to watch interesting films.)

An essay in English on the topic My family is presented for students of secondary schools. Such a topic in English on the topic Family can be useful for grades 8 and 9 studying the topic of family and interpersonal relationships. Family topics in English can be used for homework or classwork as a prototype and model.

Topic "Family"

Family plays the leading role in everyone's life. It consists of people you love. And you can be sure that they are the only people that will definitely love you the most. It does not matter who you are, what do you do, because you all are the closest people to each other. All of you should support each other to overcome the difficulties together.

Almost everyone will agree that your home is where your family is. A child is the central person of a family. If he or she has been grown up in a good family, he should be thankful for his happy childhood. But if everything was not very good he also must be thankful for such experience. People need to learn from someone’s or their own mistakes. That is something like life "science", so you could be a thankful student.

Every family begins with a mother. To tell more, every genus originates from a mother. They are our savers and the people that will encourage us all our life. Your life starts from being one organism with your mother during 9 months. You are connected physically, but this is a connection that will not be broken just being cut by scissors. It is something more than just physical contact. That is why someone’s mother can feel if something is wrong with her child, even if they are kilometers away from each other.

Usually, people associate family only with their parents and the closest relatives. But actually, it is not completely right. Everybody you love as a friend or as a person could be named a part of your family. Even your domestic pet may be a member of your family if you want to think so.

Topic "Family" (translation)

The family plays a leading role in the life of every person. It is made up of the people you love. And you can be sure that these are the only people who will love you the most no matter what. It doesn't matter who you are, what you do, because you don't have anyone closer to each other. You must support each other to overcome difficulties together.

Almost everyone would agree that home is where your family is. The child is the central personality of the family. If he grows up in a good family, he should be grateful for his happy childhood. But if everything was not very good - he should also be grateful for such an experience. People have to learn from someone else's or their own mistakes. This is a bit of a life science, and you should be a grateful student.

Every family starts with a mother. Moreover, each genus originates from the mother. They are our guardians and people who will support us throughout our lives. Your life begins with the fact that you are one organism with your mother for 9 months. You are physically connected, but it is such a connection that only being cut with scissors will not break. This is more than just physical contact. This is why someone's mom can feel if something is wrong with her child, even if they are miles apart.

As a rule, people associate families only with their parents and immediate family. But in reality, this is not entirely correct. Everyone you love as a friend or as a person can be considered part of your family. Even your pet can be a family member if you want to count it as such.
