Use the vocabulary of the texts A, B, C and your own experience to write about your family.

Follow the structure of any writing in the English language:

Introduction: we should introduce the topic, the purpose of our writing and explain the reason for it; we can also state our opinion clearly.

Main body: it usually consists of several paragraphs. We present a separate viewpoint starting with a basic (or topic) sentence. Reasons and examples should be added to it. Use short sentences so that the information can be understood clearly. Ideas should be united with the help of appropriate linking words (transitional expressions) such as to start with, firstly, consequently, so, because, and, first of all, also, however, besides, what is more, although, such as, for example, in addition, in conclusion, so that, on condition that, on the one hand, on the other hand, finally, as a result, etc. We can use a variety of adjectives and adverbs as well as our senses to make the writing more appealing to the reader. Include the things we can see, feel, hear, smell and taste.

Conclusion: we write our closing remarks and summarise our opinion using different words. We can also state our feelings and personal comments and / or our recommendations.

Reread the written work and check for grammar and / or spelling mistakes.
