Family Photo Album

Today I wanted to make a small photo album for my friend. He had just moved to a new city, and sometimes he felt a little lonely. I thought: if he can look at my family, he will also feel warm. On the first page I wrote: “There are six people in my family.” There are Dad, Mum, older brother, older sister, younger brother, and me. In the first photo, Dad and Mum are chatting in the park. I wrote beside it: “This is my dad. He is a very good dad. This is my mum. She is a very good mum.” I also wrote one sentence: “With close family, ‘my dad’ and ‘my mum’ don’t need ‘de’; it sounds more natural.” In the second photo, my older brother is listening to music. I wrote: “He is my older brother. He often helps me with homework.” In the third photo, my older sister and I are jogging in the park. I smiled and wrote: “This is my older sister. She really likes exercise.” In the fourth photo, my younger brother is eating biscuits. I wrote: “He is my younger brother. He is very cute.” Finally, I took the album to my friend’s place. He opened it and looked while saying, “So good!” Just then, my parents suddenly came. Dad said, “Welcome—come eat dinner!” Mum also said, “Come in, let’s eat together!” My friend jumped in surprise, then laughed and said, “This really is double happiness!”
