English class: Family stories

2. Speaking and writing. Family stories

1. I don't think my family have an interesting story, is actually pretty sad. My parents aren't married, they never were. My dad have a different family, he's always been in my life but not in the house. It is not the kind of story I like to tell to people.

2. My grandparents at that time were living in Sinaloa I think, and they both were working in the field... so they met there working. How my parents met, I don't have a clue.

3. A lot of family I don't see very often, recently I went to L.A with some uncle and cousin that I don't see a lot, so yes I do have a lot of family that I don't see just because they live in another cities.

4. Yes! My mother and aunts planning it, it was all the family from part of my grandmother, and I like it very much! It was nice to see people I've never seen and they were my family!

5. My old sister is with the one I spend more time, and with who I am closer too. Well, is my sister how can't I be closer to her. I love her with all my heart! She always help with everything and listen to me.

FAMILY REUNION

About 2 years ago, my aunts and my mother planned a family reunion from part of my grandmother, they called GODINADA, because of the last name of my nana (Godina). It was very fun, there were games, a lot of food! Some family came from Las Vegas, others were from here and I'd never see them, we would like to do more of those but my family don't want to do it all by themselves, the other ones didn't help that much. But I love it, it was nice to meet everyone, to eat all that my stomach can handle, and we also made a t-shirt with the photo of my grand grand parents on it, it was a different color for the different families, my family was green, they were red, blue, etc.

I will remember that party always, we had karaoke, and we spent all they decorating then when everyone came, we ate, played, sang, and also we presented ourself. It was kind of great. I think all families should have some party like ours every year, you can see how everyone grow.
