Tell me about your family.
There are five of us: my parents, my younger brother, my grandmother and me. We live together in one house, so we spend a lot of time with each other, especially at dinner.
Do you spend much time with your family?
Yes, quite a lot. We have dinner together every evening, and on weekends we often visit relatives or go for a picnic if the weather is nice.
Who are you closest to in your family?
My mother, I would say. She listens carefully and gives honest advice, so whenever I have a problem, she is the first person I talk to.
Do you look like anyone in your family?
People say I look like my father because of our eyes and smile, although my personality is closer to my mother's. I am calmer than he is.
What do you usually do together as a family?
We cook traditional meals, watch films on Friday evenings and sometimes travel to my grandparents' village. Those trips are my favourite part of the year.
Is family important in your culture?
Very much. Families are close, and several generations often live nearby. People help each other with money, childcare and big decisions.
