CUE CARD: THE FAMILY MEMBER

Đề: Describe the member of your family who you spend the most time with

You should say:

• who it is 

• when you are usually together   

• what you do together 

And explain why you spend the most time with this member of your family

BÀI TRẢ LỜI MẪU:

Today, I am going to share with you a family member who I spend most of my time with. That is my /father/mother/older sister/brother/cousin…

My father/mother/older sister/brother/cousin… is a very considerate and thoughtful person. When I was small, he/she usually took good care of me; taught me good lessons and never let me out of his/her sight. Even now, whenever I have a bad day, he/she has always been there for me, and helps me get through it.

As I have got older, my father/mother/older sister/brother/cousin… has become my best friend. I can share my interests, my career plans or even things about my love life with them – in fact, anything at all. Especially when I am down, he/she gives me the encouragement that I need to move on. To me, he/she is a role model whom I always look up to/admire/and follow in his/her footsteps.

He/she constantly reminds me that I have to try my best in everything I choose to pursue so that I can achieve my goal in this life. Thanks to his/her advice, I have made significant progress in my personal life in general.

Although, of course, I love all my family, because he/she is so special to me, I think that we will always keep in touch, just as we do now almost every day.
