This is my family!

All five people in my family have different personalities.

I am extremely shy; I don’t like to talk too much. I prefer to stay at home and listen to music instead of going
out. I don’t have many friends, but I am very confident.

My younger brother is really fun. It's great to spend time with him. He's so funny. No matter what we're doing,
he tells jokes and I love listening to him tell jokes about whatever we're doing at the time. And he's so cheerful
and bright. He's always open to new people and new ideas. So, I like spending time with him. He makes me feel
cheerful, too when we talk together.

My older brother, he's a really good guy. He's not very entertaining like my younger brother but smart. He's
really serious. He likes to study and read. For example, he likes reading the Greek philosophers. He likes reading
about Plato and Socrates. And he's always talking about philosophy. I like that stuff, too. I think it's interesting
but he's not very funny.
My dad is a hard worker. He's very devoted to everything he tries. He spends every day outside, no matter the
weather because he has to take care of his family, which is all his animals. And he's a really smart guy. Maybe a
bit serious at times. His sense of humor is maybe like you can imagine from an old man.

My mother loves to read horror novels and horror books. So, she knows a lot of stuff about crime or mysteries or
police dramas and lawyers. She loves that stuff. So, my mother is very interested in that kinds of books and
movies, and TV shows. So, she's kind of like a detective. My mother is very smart and enjoys solving puzzles.
