My Family
I belong to a middle-class family. It consists of my grandparents, my father, my mother, my elder brother, and myself. My grandfather is a retired army officer. He is still strong and healthy. Though he is over sixty, he remains active and hardworking. He is gentle, wise, and affectionate, and he loves us all very much.
My father is a service holder. He works as an accountant in a private firm. He is always busy with his office work and sometimes even has to go to work on Fridays. He is very sincere, honest, and dedicated to his duties. People admire him for his good looks and polite behaviour.
My mother is one of the most wonderful women in the world. She is kind-hearted, patient, and cheerful. She works as a receptionist in a private firm and has to get up very early every morning. Her smiling face brings joy to everyone at home. When she returns from work, her presence brings life back into our home.
My elder brother is a student of Class X. He is very serious about his studies and doesn’t take part in any activities other than reading. His mind is always focused on Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (P.C.M.).
As for myself, I am twelve years old and the youngest member of the family. I am a student of Class VII. Everyone in the family treats me like a little child. No one calls me by my real name—they all call me “Chhotu.” I feel a bit awkward when my parents call me that in front of my friends, and now even my friends have started calling me by that nickname!
Ours is a very happy and loving family. I feel proud of my family and wish for its happiness and prosperity day by day.
