Family: relationships, support, shared responsibilities

It matters to me to be close to my grandmother, so I call her every week.

Although my cousin lives in another city, we are close to each other and share our worries.

My parents are always there for me when I need advice or encouragement.

I want to be there for my little sister when she starts secondary school.

In a close-knit family, people usually keep in touch and know what is happening in each other's lives.

I come from a close-knit family, and we often help each other when someone has a problem.

Our evening walk on birthdays is a family tradition that gives us time to talk.

One family tradition is having a big meal together on New Year’s Day.

I get on well with my older sister even though we have quite different interests.

Family life is much easier when people get on well with each other and respect one another.
