Family

How many people are there in your family?

• There are five people in my family. My father, mother, brother, sister and me.

• (Remember, this is textbook style)

Do you have a big family? / How many brothers and sisters do you have?

• I have an older brother - he works in a bank. And I have a younger sister - she’s a middle school student. My father is a businessman and my mother is a housewife.

• (This is a more natural style. Just talk about your close fam-ily.)
