email and Subject: My family routines
Hi Dong,
complete How are you getting on? In your last email you asked me about my family routines.
Well, we have quite a few routines to help us learn life skills and build family bonds,
the table. but I’ll tell you about three main ones.
First, my family always have dinner together. Dinners are important for us since we
share our daily experiences and talk about the latest news. Second, we watch our
favourite game show on TV together every Friday evening. We discuss the questions
and guess the answers. It’s great fun every time we get a correct answer. Third, every
two weeks, on Saturday we clean the house together. We make a list of all the chores.
Each of us then chooses one or two household tasks according to personal choice. We
all feel happy and proud when we see our home spotlessly clean at the end of the day.
Do you have similar family routines? I’d be interested to know about your family.
Please write back soon.
Best,
Joey

SAMPLE PARAGRAPH
First, my family always have breakfast together. Breakfast is a quick meal with just bread
or noodles because both my parents work and we, kids, have morning classes. But the
most important thing is that we can sit down together, eat healthy food and share our
plans for the day. Second, we spend Saturday evenings as a family. We often watch a
film, share snacks and then exchange our opinions after the film. I can even argue and
defend my ideas about the film with my grandparents or brother. Third, on the second
Sunday of the month, we visit our grandparents. We come to my parents’ home quite
early in the morning to help them do some housework such as cleaning the house or
washing clothes. Then, we have a big lunch with them. My parents are very happy when
we come to see them. The visits make me feel closer to my grandparents.
