My family consists of three people. There's my father whose name is Viswanathan, my mother whose name is Suma, and of course, me. I have quite a large extended family as well but only the three of us live together in our home. My father is fifty-nine years old. He works as an Officer in "Telicom Department". He is tall and average , has got short black and gray hair and black eyes. My father likes gardening very much as well as listening to music and reading books about political science. His special hobbies are bird watching and Reading.

Now I'll describe my mother. My mother is forty-nine and she works as a Teacher in Gov.School. She is small and slim, has short black hair. She likes bird watching and reading too, so whenever my parents are able to they go some place interesting for nature watching.

I have only one grandmother left still living. She is in pretty good health even at the age of eight-eight so she still lives with us. I enjoy spending time with her when I can. Both my grandfathers died, which was really a great tragedy because I didn't get a chance to know them. My other grandmother died just a few years ago. I also have a lot of aunts, uncles, and cousins.

My parents have assigned me certain duties around the house. I don't mind helping out because everyone in a family should contribute in some way. I help with the washing up, the vacuuming and the shopping. Of course I also have to help keep my room tidy as well. I am also very close to my parents and I can rely on them to always try to help me. My parents work together to keep our home well maintained and it seems they always have some project or another that they are working on. They respect each other's opinions and even if they disagree they can always come to a compromise. I hope in the future that I have a family like ours.
