It's Personal! - UNIT 1 (DOWNLOAD) FORM 5

I live in Bristol with my mum, dad and brother, Tim. My parents met at university and got married when they finished their studies. I was born a year later and my brother was bron when I was three years-old.

Mum and I have just got home from holiday in Spain. Mum works hard so that we can go away once a year. It may sound strange, but I have a lot of fun with my mum. There's just the two of us at home, so it's a good thing we get along!

My dad remarried a few years ago and when he did, Josh and I got a stepmother and a stepsister! At first, it was strange living with them in the same house, but we soon got used to it. It's pretty cool, actually.

Every summer, the whole family gets together for a party at my grandparents' house. All three generations are there-grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and everyone. We have fantastic time. For me, it's the best day of the year!

My mum and dad aren't my biological parents. They couldn't have children of their own, so they adopted me and my sister! They love us very much and always do their best to make us happy.
