-There are four people in my family : my wife, my two sons and myself.
②Talk about brothers and sisters

-I just have one sister, who’s five years older than me.
-I’m the middle child : my brother is two years older, and I have a younger sister who’s finishing university this year.
③Talking about your immediate/extended family
Immediate family : You, your husband/wife, children, parents, brothers and sisters.
Extended family : Aunts, uncles,cousins,nephews,nieces,grandparents,grandchildren.
-My immediate family is quite small, because I'm an only child. My mom is one of five children, so I have a lot of cousins, who are kind of like my brothers and sisters.
-There are six people in my immediate family, my parents, my brother and his wife, my sister and me. I have a lot of other relatives, but they live in Canada so we don't see them often.
④Talking about your children
-I have three kids : two girls and a boy. Our eldest daughter had just started secondary school and the two younger ones are still in primary school.
-We have a newborn son, he’s just three weeks old now, so we're still getting used to things.
-We have one daughter, and my wife’s expecting our second child. We don't know if it's a boy or a girl, but we’ll find out in three months.
⑤Talking about your relationship with your family
-I am very close to my family, we have lunch together every weekend at my grandmother's house. She always cooks something delicious.
-I see my older brother once a week, we play tennis or basketball together. I don't see my other brothers so often, because he lives overseas, although we talk on Skype every so often.
-I try to spend as much time as possible with my kids. We play cards, watch films, or go to the park if the weather's nice.
⑥Making a longer answer
-There are five people in my immediate family, although my extended family is quite large. I have two sisters, both younger, so I’m the oldest child. I don't have kids yet, but I'd like to have a big family one day. I see my parents and my sisters quite often, because we all live near each other, although I don’t see my other relatives that much.
-I come from a big family, I am the fifth child and I have three brothers and one sisters. They’re all close to each other in age, but there is a big gap between them and me. I don't have children, but I have lots of nieces and nephews. I don’t see my family often because I live in a different country, but I speak to them regularly and we all get together once or twice a year, which is always very noisy but lots of fun.
