Part 1
|
|
|
Do you have a large
or small family?
|
|
|
I come from a large
family. Now, I just have my mom, an older brother and three younger brothers.
My father passed away 17 years ago. I am the only daughter in the family.
|
|
|
|
|
|
How much time do you
spend with your family?
|
|
|
For now, I live one
in another city far from my family so I only spend about two weeks each year
with them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What do you like to
do together as a family?
|
|
|
My family enjoys
cooking together and having special meals together. We catch up and talk
about our lives. We look back and share memories especially when we were
still young. We enjoy music as well. So, when we get together, we play
several musical instruments and sing along.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Do you get along
well with your family?
|
|
|
Sure. We are really
close to each other. I am happy that I could tell them anything. They are
always there to listen when I have problems.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Is yours a typical
family?
|
|
|
Well, I can say
that, yes, our family is a typical one. A family, who stays by each other through
good times and bad times.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Are there many
different types of family in your country?
|
|
|
Yes, types of
family in terms of number and the members of a household. There are small
families with one two children to large families with about eight or more
children. There are also households with extended families.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Who are you closest
to in your family?
|
|
|
I am closest to my
mom. I think it is because we are the only women in the family. So, we share
the same ideas about many things.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Describe your
family.
|
|
|
I live in a nuclear
family, with my parents and a younger brother. My father is an engineer and
lives in Aligarh whereas my mother is a home maker. My brother is currently
doing his Bachelors in technology in Electronic Communication from Dwarahat.
|
|
|
|
|
|
How much time do you
spend with your family?
|
|
|
I really love
spending time with my family, however, my present job, which is a host for a
show with fox traveler, requires me to travel a lot, so I am not able spend
that much time with them. However, whenever I do get time I either call them
to wherever I am or go to meet them at home.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What is your personal
contribution to your family?
|
|
|
Towards my family, I
make sure that I spend at least 2 days a month with my parents and my
brother. So, most of the time we all make plans to make sure that we do spend
those two days together, no matter where we are. Other than this, I give 5%
of whatever my earnings are to my family.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What type of task do
you do to assist your family members?
|
|
|
Well, most of the
time I am doing the work that requires me to move out of house, like paying
bills, buying grocery or going to bank.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Whom do you like
most in your family? Why?
|
|
|
I love both my
parents a lot. For me, nothing comes before them, so they are the first
priority. To an extent this is because, I believe that who I am now is
because of them. They have supported me through the toughest phase of my life
and have enjoyed every moment of my success with me. They have given me so
much that I don’t even find myself capable enough to say that I will return
your love. So, for sure they are the ones that I love the most.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tell me about your
family.
|
|
|
Although I live
abroad now, my dad's family is from Glasgow and my mum's family is from
Edinburg. So I'm from a very Scottish family. I would say I come from quite a
small family, just my parents, my two sisters and me. But both of my parents
come from very large families so my extended family is very large - I have 20
cousins! Our family gatherings are pretty chaotic, but fun. We're a very
close-knit family and have reunions at least twice a year. Even though we
don't live together any more, the family ties are still very strong.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Who are you close to
in your family?
|
|
|
The person I'm
closest to in my family is my dad, Gavin. He's really sociable, always going
out with friends and colleagues. Everyone thinks he's good fun. I look up to
him because he's very enthusiastic about everything he does.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Who are you most
similar to in your family?
|
|
|
Well, there is a
strong family resemblance between my elder brother and me, but everyone tells
me that the physical resemblance between me and my paternal grandfather is
very clear. Sadly, I never got to meet him because he passed away before I
was born. But I’ve seen photographs of him at my age and we’re quite alike.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In what way is your
family important to you?
|
|
|
The most important
word in my life is "family". I love my family. I know that my
family will always be there for me, no matter what. Every family has their
ups and downs, but we are still there for each other. We support one another
when there is nobody else.
